Species abundance and seagrass cover. Calculated from photo quadrats and video recorded by divers along seabed transects surveyed by divers as part of GENIALG monitoring surveys. Seaweed farm located in Ventry Harbour, Co. Kerry (Ireland). The samples were collected at seven different time points along the growing season in 2018 and 2019. Samples collected as part of the GENIALG project (project ID: 727892, GENIALG - GENetic diversity exploitation for Innovative Macro-ALGal biorefinery, http://genialgproject.eu/). GENIALG was funded by the European Union Horizon2020 programme. The remit of the work was assessing the environmental footprint and ecosystem services provided by seaweed aquaculture in Europe to provide best practice advice to industry.
