- •
We defined 4 levels of identification to evaluate coral reefs with linear methods.
- •
We characterized spatial and temporal variability in benthic communities at each level.
- •
We compared the line and point intercept methods.
- •
We proposed the most adapted methods to the specific needs of different stakeholders.
