This map displays the density - number of colonies per square meter, of Montipora patula (green bubbles) and M. flabellata (yellow bubbles) observed at survey sites in the main Hawaiian Islands. The bubbles are overlaid onto hard bottom habitat to illustrate observed densities relative to potential coral habitat. These surveys do not represent a census of all locations where these corals might be found.
