2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: Unknown (process 1 of 1)

   Two pairs of investigators made observations, with one team observing and sampling macroinvertebrates and the other team concentrating on macroalgae. Species observed as present were noted on underwater paper and samples of substratum and organisms not easily identified in the field were collected, preserved in 70% ethanol and returned to the laboratory for identification. Subtidal sampling was conducted at depths from approximately 5 to 30 m using SCUBA on dives approximately 50 minutes long. Samples in both the intertidal and subtidal were taken on a haphazard basis with the intention of obtaining as large a variety of organisms as possible. Person who carried out this activity:
