Table with estimates of eelgrass and seaweed cover within a 20 m diameter circle of sample points. These data were collected during point sampling, at points which were not suitable for quadrat measurements (usually due to water depth and current). Data were collected during a "swim-around" of the sample point. The observer swam a circle (approximately 20 m diameter) around the point and visually estimates eelgrass and seaweed cover. These 20 m cover estimates can be used to inform satellite projection of eelgrass spatial extent and to evaluate the accuracy of the eelgrass spatial projection. Presented in comma Separated Value (CSV) formatted table.
