Methods

In 2011, we selected three sites to represent the variety of moderately exposed coastlines where diverse intertidal seaweed assemblages are accessible. At each site, we established three permanent transects (marked by stainless steel bolts) running paral- lel to shore at different elevations representing low, middle, and high intertidal zones. Transects were surveyed annually from 2012 to 2019 during a spring tide series (34days) between May and July. Each year, we randomly selected 10 positions at meter intervals along each transect and visually estimated the percent cover of sessile organisms in a 0.5 × 0.5 m quadrat at each position. Seaweed taxa were identified using Gabrielson et al. Invertebrates were identified to genus or order.
