summarizes data collected from March 1979 through February 1986, and characterizes local rocky intertidal 

 communities under 2-unit operating conditions. 



Qualitative Collections 



Tlie benthic algal flora at nine rocky intertidal stations (Fig. 2) was monitored qualitatively on a 

 monthly basis. These stations are, in order of most exposed to least exposed: Bay Point (BP), Fox 

 Island-Exposed (FE), MiUstone Point (MP), Twotree Island [TT), White Point (WP), Seaside Exposed 

 (SE), Seaside Sheltered (SS), Giants Neck (GN), and Fox Island-Sheltered (FS). Sampling at MP and 

 TT began in October 19SI.
