In 1997, 53 sites in Milne Bay Province were assessed during the Marine RAP survey. Sites surveyed included a diverse range of habitats. The survey method consisted of direct underwater observation of corals along transects using SCUBA. The aims of this component of the survey were:1. to compile an inventory of corals on the reefs of Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea and2. to compare the results with inventories from other regions of Papua New Guinea and neighbouring countries. The Marine Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) is an initiative of Conservation International (CI). Surveys were carried out in collaboration with the Milne Bay Provincial Government.
