Abstract

Percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts was measured at two sites and depths in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI in July and August 2019. These sites (Cabritte Horn and Tektite) were selected because the abundance of PAC has been measured in these locations since 2015. Peyssonnelid Algal Crust was surveyed in quadrats placed at random positions along transects positioned haphazardly along the 3 meter and 9 meter isobaths.

Quadrat: Quadrats with a size of 0.25 square meters were laid along a transect along two different sites and depths in Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI to determine percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts (PAC). Quadrat number (1 to 80) gives a unique identification to each individual quadrat.

Depth: Depth in meters (either 3 or 9 m) at the site where quadrats were used to determine percent cover of PAC, and whether it varied between depths (3 meters depth vs 9 meters depth)

Site: The two sites within Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI where quadrats were used to determine percent cover of PAC, and whether it varied between sites (Cabritte Horn or Tektite).

Percent cover: Percent cover of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts (PAC) calculated from the 0.25 m^2 quadrats
