This sensitive habitat at the interface of land and ocean may well be the marine equivalent of the canary in a coal mine as we advance into an era of global climate change. This handbook describes effective methods and procedures for monitoring the ecological and environmental status of these areas. Written by three collaborating authors with extensive field experience, it provides critical discussions and evaluation of the various sampling techniques and field procedures for studies of intertidal macroinvertebrates, seaweeds, and seagrasses. Rather than prescribing standard protocols or procedures, the authors break down the decision-making process into various elements so investigators can become aware of the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a particular method or approach. Chapters discuss topics such as site selection, field sampling layouts and designs, selection of sampling units, nondestructive and destructive methods of quantifying abundance, and methods for measuring age, growth rates, size, structure, and reproductive condition. 606 $aIntertidal ecology$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$xMethodology 615 0$aIntertidal ecology$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring$xMethodology. 676 $a577.69/9 700 $aMurray$b Steven N$g(Steven Nelson),$f1944-$01893439 701 $aAmbrose$b Richard F$g(Richard Francis)$01893440 701 $aDethier$b Megan N$01893441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975200603321 996 $aMonitoring rocky shores$94541767 997 $aUNINA
