Purpose

These data provide counts of Nucella spp., Lirabuccinum dirum, Katharina tunicata, and Lottia spp. at sites in sheltered rocky habitats. These data are used to estimate densities of Nucella spp., Lirabuccinum dirum, Katharina tunicata, and Lottia spp. on sheltered rocky shorelines to assess change in intertidal invertebrate communities on rocky shorelines. Sampling was conducted within regions of Alaska including: Kenai Peninsula (KEP; Kenai Fjords National Park), Alaska Peninsula (AKP; Katmai National Park and Preserve), and Prince William Sound (PWS; northern, western, and eastern Prince William Sound). Study site locations are described in the "Monitoring Site Locations" data release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F78S4N3R (Coletti et al. 2017).
