Percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts at two sites and depths in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI from July and August 2019

<p>Quadrat:&nbsp; Quadrats with a size of 0.25 square&nbsp;meters were laid along a transect along two different sites and depths in Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI to determine percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts (PAC). &nbsp;Quadrat number (1 to 80) gives a&nbsp;unique identification to each individual quadrat.</p>

<p>Depth: Depth in meters (either 3 or 9 m) at the site where quadrats were used to determine percent cover of PAC, and whether it varied between depths (3 meters depth vs 9 meters depth)</p>

<p>Site: &nbsp;The two sites within Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI where quadrats were used to determine percent cover of PAC, and whether it varied between sites (Cabritte Horn or Tektite).</p>

<p>Percent cover:&nbsp; Percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts (PAC) calculated from the 0.25 m^2 quadrats</p>
