Project
Quality Data was collected on rocky shores from high tide to 20m depth: direct observation of species within replicate 1m2 quadrats, and collection of all species within replicate 50cm2 and 25cm2 quadrats. In the centre of sea grass beds: (a) direct observation of species within replicate 50cm2 quadrats, and collection of all species (b) >0.5cm in size within replicate 15cm radius by 10cm depth cores, and (c) between 0.5cm-63um in size within replicate 2cm radius by 10cm depth cores. See http://www.nagisa.coml.org/Protocols for more details.
