Via SCUBA we conducted swath surveys where grazers were identified, counted, measured (test diameter), and randomly collected for gonad dissections. These surveys serve as a baseline to describe these sites as true barrens and to compare experimental results to.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (Long, degrees_east)\nSite (unitless)\ntime (Iso_datetime, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nDate (unitless)\ntime_unitless (Time, unitless)\nDiver (unitless)\nMeter_marks (unitless)\nSpecies (unitless)\nScientific_Name (unitless)\nCount (individual)\nArea_m2 (meters squared (m2))\nDensity_m2 (meters squared (m-2))\nnotes (unitless)\n | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_942763_v1 |
