Berkeley Sound intertidal survey feb 2016

The dataset is an excel file that contains a baseline information on intertidal species and type of substrate within six survey areas in Berkeley Sound, Falkland Islands. The aim of the data collection and analysis was to understand more about the distribution and patterns of species assemblages in the intertidal area and their use of the environment, specifically substrate.

Lineage	The intertidal survey employed two techniques to collect the intertidal data: overall observation of the substrate and species present at various locations, mostly when a noticeable change in substrate type or species assemblage was noted; and quadrats. Quadrats were placed along a transect spanning the height of the beach, at several locations to capture differences in zonation within the intertidal area, both along the height and length of the survey area. . Each observation was recorded with a GPS point. Photos were taken as further documentation of the habitats and species observed. The raw data collection included information on zone (high, low and medium water mark), substrate (substrat_raw) and species assemblages. A desk based assessment helped to add data on aspect. The analysis of the data and the photo allowed to: review the initial classes of substrate (substrat_proc) and add a general description of the habitat (hab_descr). This accounted of species diversity, substrate type and most occurrent species.
