Station 10. Fagasa Bay 16-Oct-02 (Latitude 14° 17.01'S, Longitude 170° 43.37'W) The site drops steeply from a ca. 2 m deep reef flat on the east side of the bay to ca. 18 m depth at the reef base, with pronounced spur and groove development forming projecting ridges that merge into a coarse sandy bottom with pebble to cobble sized rubble. Coral cover on reef slope was ca. 50% and diverse in species, with abundant Halimeda. Porites rus was common at the bottom of the reef slope, which has numerous ledges and overhangs. Shallow areas of the reef appear to have been sediment stressed and were largely algal covered, with lots of Echinometra burrows. Porites lutea was the dominant coral and total coral coverage was only ca. 10%. B. Previous Species Reports Review of the available published and unpublished literature for Pago Pago Harbor and Fagetele, Vatia, and Fagasa Bays found previous species reports for marine algae, seagrasses, invertebrates, fishes, and turtles in 15 papers and reports, from studies conducted from 1917 to 2002 (Table 2). The <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> collections contain algae, invertebrates and fishes collected from these four areas between 1900 and 1984. Table 2. References containing previous reports for the locations in the present study. Citation numbers for references are used in Table 3.

Information is available from 14 of the 16 sources for Pago Pago Harbor, with eight sources available for Fagatele Bay, five for Vatia Bay and six for Fagasa Bay. A total of 562 taxa were previously reported for Pago Pago Harbor, while reported taxa for the remaining locations ranged from 160 in Vatia Bay to 631 in Fagatele Bay. For all of the four locations reef corals and fish comprised most of the identified taxa, 10
