Species richness, cover and community structure of reef-building corals were assessed at 599 sites on 135 reefs along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) between 1994 and 2001, with a focus on the nearshore area. Reefs were surveyed using a standard method of Rapid Ecological Assessment.

On each reef, from 1 to 31 habitats were surveyed in up to 3 depth zones (sites), comprising (a) the shallow reef flat and crest; (b) the shallow reef slope (between 3 and 7m depth); and (c) the deeper reef slope (maximum depth of 16m) respectively. At each site, an inventory of reef-building corals was compiled.
