Each quadrat was then photographed. In each quadrat the abundance of each animal and plant species present was assessed using a seven point abundance scale. All identification was made in the field ensuring that material was not removed/disturbed. Because of this, identification is given to the nearest taxon. This data forms part of the Pembrokeshire Marine Species Atlas (24328).
