1 Assessment tables for Abaco, Bahamas (fish), Lighthouse Atoll, Belize (corals, algae, fishes), and Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles (corals, algae, fishes) Philip Kramer and Barbie Bischof Rapid Assessments using the AGRRA protocol were conducted at three locations within the wider Caribbean during The results are presented here as a series of data tables similar in format to other papers in this volume and were drawn on for the regional synthesis. All data tables were generated from the AGRRA access database using queries to generate site means based on either transect values (fish density, coral cover, diadema, coral density) or individual coral values (coral mortality, diameter, condition), or quadrat values (relative cover of algae and canopy height of macroalgae). The location of the sites for Lighthouse Atoll and Bonaire are shown in figures 1A and 1B (see Figure 1 in Feingold et al., for the Abaco site locations). Tables 1-2 show results of fish assessments collected in Abaco, Bahamas (for benthic results, see Feingold et al., this volume). Tables 3-6 show stony corals, algae, and fish results from Lighthouse Atoll, Belize. Tables 7-10 show stony corals, algae, and fish results from Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles.
