Depending on the site, 3 to 6 transects were established. Identity and heights of all arborescent octocorals greater than or equal to 5 centimeters were recorded from 1 square meter quadrats on the transects. The position of colonies relative to the site, meter on the transect, and side of the quadrat are included. Surveys were conducted by Drs. Howard Lasker and Christopher Wells of the University at Buffalo.
