After looking at more of the data so far, we are hoping to get measurements throughout the day so would like to come for one day for a longer amount of time I will measure temperature (thermometer), dissolved oxygen (handheld optode microsensor), pH (meter), and salinity (handheld refractometer). I will collect three water samples place them on ice in a dark cooler, and transport to the laboratory at UCLA. Within each site, I will sample intertidal macroalgae along a 30-m transect parallel to the waterline and 1 m downslope from the vascular vegetation. I will estimate macroalgal abundance by measuring percent cover.
