Characterization of shallow water (<10 m depth below predicted tidal datum) benthic and fish communities of the reef slope, reef flat and lagoon at Seringapatam Reef sampled with the aid of marked transects laid along a depth contour. Benthos was sampled using high resolution digital still cameras, while fish were censused by specialist divers undertaking visual counts. This approach was applied at all depths and locations except the emergent reef flats, which were sampled in the same way for benthos, but were generally not assessed for fish. Two reef flats were surveyed for fish using a timed swim method at high tide.

A series of marked transects were established at multiple depths and locations around Seringapatam Reef. Six locations on the outer reef slope and adjacent reef flat, together with four within the reef lagoon. Where possible, these sites included and extended sampling locations previously surveyed by AIMS Heyward et al. (2010).
