A = abundant - extremely abundant and dominant and visually obvious 



VC = very common - not dominant but readily apparent 



C = common - readily found in a cursory examination 



UC = uncommon - not readily found with a cursory examination but 



present regularly enough so that more than one indivi- 

 dual can be located after a relatively thorough search 

 C-M = Chondrus-Myt ilus mat - percent cover cannot be determined
