In order to standardize species resolution across all MARINe groups and over time, some species (typically rare) were lumped for graphical presentation of Long-Term monitoring data. See lumped categories for definitions (some variation occurs between methods and over time).

Photo Plots
Below are the trends observed for each Photo Plot target species at this site. Long-Term percent cover trend graphs also include any species that reached a minimum of 25% cover during any single point in time within a given target species assemblage. Breaks in trend lines represent missed sampling events. For additional species observed that did not meet this 25% threshold, please use the Graphing Tool.
Balanus (Acorn Barnacles) – percent cover
Balanus (Acorn Barnacles) – motile invertebrate counts
Chthamalus/Balanus (Acorn Barnacles) – percent cover
Chthamalus/Balanus (Acorn Barnacles) – motile invertebrate counts
Mytilus (California Mussel) – percent cover
Mytilus (California Mussel) – motile invertebrate counts
Pelvetiopsis (Dwarf Rockweed) – percent cover
Pelvetiopsis (Dwarf Rockweed) – motile invertebrate counts
Recovery – percent cover
Recovery – motile invertebrate counts
Transects
Below are the trends observed for each Transect target species at this site. Long-Term trend graphs also include any species that reached a minimum of 25% cover during any single point in time within a given target species assemblage. Breaks in trend lines represent missed sampling events.
