Dataset: Seagrass surveys of blade height around artificial reefs in shallow coastal waters off of Abaco, The Bahamas

We surveyed all benthic producer species within the seagrass beds using a 1-meter squared (m2) quadrat and a 10-centimeter squared (cm2) quadrat, including three seagrass species, 17 potential macroalgal species, and a cyanobacterial mat complex. Producers were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible always at least to genus-level, with the exception of the cyanobacterial mat complex which likely consisted of multiple species of cyanobacteria that we were unable to determine with a high degree of specificity. Responses were determined using the modified Braun–Blanquet method.
