The purpose of this data capture was to monitor the red sea fingers Alcyonium glomeratum colony area and to look for damage and disease. Alcyonium glomeratum (red sea fingers) is a Lusitanian species near to its northern limit of distribution. Colonies are long-lived and possible indicators of climate change. Several colonies have been monitored since 1982. Some colonies are very stable over time and others are variable.
