Description
The dataset contains data collected as part of the Finnish macrophyte monitoring programme. Coverage and length data of macrophytes are collected along dive transects at 1 m depth intervals on hard substrate bottoms. At present, the dataset includes eigth transects on the Finnish south coast and sampled 2011-2018.
