Long-Term Monitoring and Biodiversity Surveys done by the Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe) occur throughout the year at sites ranging from Southeast Alaska to Mexico. Long Term Monitoring surveys assess within-site community change over time, while Biodiversity surveys were designed to capture among-site patterns of community structure (abundance and spatial distribution of species). In combination, the long-term, targeted species approach and the biodiversity surveys provide a wealth of information about the structure and dynamics of rocky intertidal communities along the Pacific Coast of North America.
This metadata record documents the Sea Star and Katharina Survey data for MARINe Long-Term Monitoring surveys. Sea Star and Katharina surveys are done by recording the number of a specific organism found in a permanent plot at a given site.
Please note that species of concern have been removed from all public datasets, as well as data from sites funded by the National Park Service (NPS) and the United States Navy. For a comprehensive dataset, please contact the data set owner(s). For more information about the data described in this metadata record, please visit pacificrockyintertidal.org.

Sampling Description
Study Extent
Long Term Monitoring surveys are done at sites ranging from southeast Alaska to southern California. For more information see http://pacificrockyintertidal.orgSampling
Species Count and Size sampling is done by recording the number of a specific organism found in a permanent plot at a given site. For some species, size is also recorded. Please note that these data do not reflect all species present in a given area. In addition, the information in this Data Set is limited by the methods described in our survey protocols. For more information, see pacificrockyintertidal.orgMethod steps
- The number of sea stars and Katharina are monitored within either band transects or irregular plots. For some species, size is also recorded. In general, 3 replicates are monitored per site. Specific information regarding the plot area and number of replicates can be found on the sea star plot info table.
Additional info
We encourage collaborative (co-authorship) efforts with MARINe scientists, and request that you discuss your analyses with us to minimize duplicative efforts and ensure that you are aware of any data oddities that might affect your results. Please provide us with copies of any data products that result from use of these data. Please acknowledge MARINe in all publications containing these data. Because MARINe is a consortium of different groups, please also acknowledge the research groups that collected these data and the funding groups associated with these data, by using a statement similar to the following: 'This study utilized data collected by the Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe): a long-term ecological consortium funded and supported by many groups. Please visit pacificrockyintertidal.org for a complete list of the MARINe partners responsible for monitoring and funding these data. Data management has been primarily supported by BOEM (Bureau of Ocean Energy Management), NPS (National Park Service), The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and United States Navy.' Please send copies of any published manuscript based on these data to the MARINe Program Coordinator (pacificr@ucsc.edu) and the PISCO Program Coordinator (PISCO-contact@lists.oregonstate.edu). Extensive efforts are made to ensure that online data are accurate and up to date, but the authors and MARINe will not take responsibility for any errors that may exist in data provided online. Furthermore, the user assumes all responsibility for errors in analysis or judgement resulting from use of the data.Taxonomic Coverages
