SBC LTER: Santa Cruz Island: Abundance and Biomass of Benthic Organisms (food resource collection)

These data describe the abundance of benthic organisms as determined by random quadrat scrapings. These data represent the availability of food resources for fish at various depths, and are part of a long term investigation of temporal patterns in reef community composition. The sampling locations in this dataset include three sites along the north shore of Santa Cruz Island. Data collection began in 1982 and this dataset is updated annually.
