    <abstract>

      <para>These data describe the cover of benthic substrate as determined by a random point

        contact method. The presence of algae and invertebrate species as well as abiotic substrates

        are recorded at 80 randomly spaced points along 40m x 1m transects. Only one substrate type

        is recorded at a given point. Percent cover of a given substrate on a transect can be

        estimated from RPC observations as the fraction of total points at which that substrate was

        present x 100. These data are part of a long term investigation of temporal patterns in reef

        community composition. The sampling locations in this dataset include eleven sites along the

        north shore of Santa Cruz Island. Data collection began in 1982 and this dataset is updated

        annually.</para>
