Summary

These data are in six tables relating to surveys of eelgrass beds in Chignik Lagoon and Mud Bay, Alaska Peninsula-Becharof National Wildlife Refuges. The tables provide environmental conditions, eelgrass abundance, distribution, and measurements used to estimate overall biomass.

Purpose

Coastal waters along the Alaska Peninsula-Becharof National Wildlife Refuges contain extensive beds of eelgrass, but the status and trends of this seagrass are unknown. These data were collected to provide point-sampling survey to determine eelgrass (Zostera marina) and seaweed abundance, distribution, and ground-truthing data for an effort to classify and map the spatial extent of eelgrass and other substrates.
