The biodiversity and community assemblages of seagrass and sand habitats located in shallow water habitats of the Banc d’Arguin were sampled with a beach seine at 3 sites, during two sampling missions in December and April. The objectives were to test if the community assemblages in term of abundance, species diversity and assemblage structure were different between habitats, as well as the effect of the season and the site.Purpose
These data were made accessible through UNESCO's eDNA Expeditions project to mobilize available marine species and occurrence datasets from World Heritage Sites.
