| Lineage | The intertidal survey employed two techniques to collect the intertidal data: overall observation of the substrate and species present at various locations, mostly when a noticeable change in substrate type or species assemblage was noted; and quadrats. Quadrats were placed along a transect spanning the height of the beach, at several locations to capture differences in zonation within the intertidal area, both along the height and length of the survey area. . Each observation was recorded with a GPS point. Photos were taken as further documentation of the habitats and species observed. The raw data collection included information on zone (high, low and medium water mark), substrate (substrat_raw) and species assemblages. A desk based assessment helped to add data on aspect. The analysis of the data and the photo allowed to: review the initial classes of substrate (substrat_proc) and add a general description of the habitat (hab_descr). This accounted of species diversity, substrate type and most occurrent species. |
