3.0. Results and Discussion 
3.1 Sampling Locations 
Samples were obtained from 217 stations located in the states of Washington, 
Oregon, and California ((Figs. 3.1.1- 3.1.13). Abbreviated station numbers are provided 
on Figs. 3.1.5-3.1.13, and complete station identification numbers, together with latitude 
and longitudes for sampling locations are given in Appendix Table 2. All stations were 
sampled during low tide, and most sites were completely exposed at the time of 
sampling.
