SBC LTER: Beach: Time-series of beach wrack consumers, ongoing since 2011

These data contain the composition, count, and wet biomass of
macroinvertebrates along intertidal transects at five selected sandy
beaches of the mainland coast of the Santa Barbara Channel. Data
collection began in 2012 and is ongoing. This dataset is updated
annually. Macroinvertebrates were collected from uniformly spaced cores along
the shore-normal transects also used for physical measurements and
macrophyte wrack sampling. Cores were pooled and animals and organic
material sieved. In the laboratory, all macroinvertebrate species were
identified, enumerated, blotted dry and weighed.
