Point Contact Surveys

The graph below shows the percent cover of the most common species (>2% cover, first points only, for at least one sample) observed during the Point Contact Surveys at this site. Note that at sites where a modified protocol was done for 1 or more survey events, the data were not included unless a modified protocol was the only survey type ever done at the site.

Quadrat Surveys

The graph below shows densities of common mobile species observed (>0.1 per m2 for at least one sample; note logarithmic scale) during the Quadrat Surveys at this site.

Swath Surveys

The graph below shows densities of sea star species observed during the Swath Surveys at this site.
