Local community members were trained to utilize 3D photogrammetry techniques to create high-resolution habitat maps of three sites that will be impacted by dredging and tower construction. The resulting orthomosaics were analyzed to quantify and characterize the coral community structure at each study site. Species diversity, coral colony count, coral colony size, and percent cover of live coral and living benthos were extracted from all survey plots. The resulting data show these sites support healthy and diverse coral communities that contribute to the ecological function of the larger reef system at Teahupo\u2019o. The Hawai\u2019i State Division of Aquatic Resources Penalty Matrix was used to estimate the USD value of the live corals and algae identified among the study sites and the total area that will be impacted by the planned development project. This study highlights the utility of 3D photogrammetry for effective citizen science as well as the large economic and ecological impacts that may occur if this proposed construction occurs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16050853","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,29]],"date-time":"2024-02-29T08:13:44Z","timestamp":1709194424000},"page":"853","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Community-Based Monitoring for Rapid Assessment of Nearshore Coral Reefs Amid Disturbances in Teahupo\u2019o, Tahiti"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8051-9790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John H.
