Summary

These data are in six tables relating to surveys of eelgrass beds in three bays adjacent to Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, in southwestern Alaska. The tables provide environmental conditions, eelgrass abundance, distribution, and measurements used to estimate overall biomass.

Purpose

Coastal waters adjacent to Togiak National Wildlife Refuge contain extensive beds of eelgrass, but the status and trends of this seagrass are unknown. These data were collected to provide point-sampling survey to determine eelgrass (Zostera marina) and seaweed abundance, distribution, and ground-truthing data for an effort to classify and map the spatial extent of eelgrass and other substrates.
