Temporal coverage: from 1997 (ongoing) Number of sites: 24 sites in total - 9 physical and 15 biological. Physical data:The continuous temperature and salinity data are collected every 15 minutes. The main marine environment sampled: fiord rock walls. Depth zone: Intertidal and subtidal 0 - 16 m. Sedimentary type: hard Community association: rocky reef Sampling method: Conductivity and temperature sensors, photoquadrats, diver observations. Parameters collected: Water physical parameters, community and single species data. Measured variables: Salinity (at 2 or 10 depths), temperature (at 10 depths), invertebrate abundance & diversity, community composition, indicator species (Cnemidocarpa sp., brachiopods, black coral) abundances, echinoderm abundances Species/community data: Benthic invertebrates, algae. Photographs only. Other data collection: Soft sediment data collected (only 1 sampling event in 2011). Particle grain size, ash free dry weight, infauna, cockles and pipi size frequency. This collection is ongoing as part of resource consent requirements. Quality assurance = unknown.
