Eelgrass communities in southeast Alaska (eelgrass density and biomass, epiphytes, and epifauna)
Intertidal seagrass community data were collected during summertime 2017 - 2019 (May-August) on western Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. In 2017, the purpose of these data was to characterize the eelgrass community so that analysis of trophic interactions could be assessed along a gradient of sea ott...
