Lineage The dataset is the result of field surveys and specimen collections throughout intertidal zone (2 personnel, about 2.5 hours of survey), with preliminary specimen identification based on existing taxonomic knowledge at the time. Species names are to be updated following further examination, analysis of molecular data, and taxonomic revision. The excel file comprises of two sheets. One for the site locations with mention of number of quadrats analysed and also tide values. The other sheet is for the specimens, their identification, habitat and overall notes.
