These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long-term monitoring program, nearshore monitoring component. The dataset consists of 10 tables of data organized into four folders. The data are presented in Comma Separated Value (CSV) format exported from a Microsoft Access relational database. The tables are: 1) invertebrate taxonomy, 2) limpet size, 3) limpet counts, 4) Nucella, Katharina, and Lirabuccinum counts, 5) rocky intertidal cover, 6) rocky intertidal percent cover, 7) rocky intertidal top layer percent cover, 8) rocky intertidal substrate percent cover, 9) sea star counts, and 10) sea star disease.
