| Summary: | These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA), Nearshore component of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, project numbers 12120114-L, 13120114-L, 14120114-L, 15120114-L, and 16120114-L. Gulf Watch Alaska is the long-term ecosystem monitoring program of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council for the marine ecosystem affected by the 1989 oil spill. This dataset contains information about ecological communities in Kachemak Bay, Gulf of Alaska as collected by intertidal surveys conducted during spring 2012 to 2016. Following protocols established for Prince William Sound, surveys were conducted to document a range of communities and variables in Kachemak Bay, including the following: (1) infaunal clam populations at four gravel beach sites (2013 and 2015); (2) limpet (Lottia spp) size-frequency distribution at rocky intertidal sites (2012-2015 only); (3) mussel (Mytilus trossulus) size-frequency distribution at three rocky intertidal sites (Port Graham, Outside Beach, and Cohen Island), expanded ... |
