Temperate Australian quantitative spatial and temporal abundance data for rocky reef biota (biodiversity): long-term Tasmanian MPAs - Ninepin Point

The data is quantitative abundance of fish and megafaunal invertebrates and algal % cover derived from transect based counts at a wide range of locations across Temperate Australia. The methods are described in detail in Edgar and Barrett (1997). Primarily the data are derived from transects at 5 m depth and/or 10 m depth at each site surveyed. Methods were initially developed for research on temporal changes following protection in Tasmanian long-term MPAs (Maria Is, Tinderbox, Ninepin Point, Governor Island), and the data represented by this record has been collected at Ninepin Point.

In many cases the dataset involves temporal replication (year scale), particularly for the core Tasmanian MPAs represented by this record.
