Description: The site_pt layer includes a point for every site in the seagrass monitoring sampling frames (flats and fringe) in use since 2001, the fringe orphans, and the sites outside the SVMP study area in south Puget Sound. In addition, there are points for three sites from the site_poly_special layer that do not coincide with the SVMP sampling frames (outf455, outf457, outf458). These three additional sites have been sampled but the surrounding SVMP sites have not been sampled. Points were not included for sites outside the SVMP frames where the surrounding SVMP sites have been sampled.For sites that have been surveyed over the 2000-2020 monitoring period, site summary results are included in the attribute table.

Description: Polygons represent general area where eelgrass has been recorded over the 2000-2020 monitoring period at each site sampled. The polygon for each site is based on the individual polygons used for surveying each year. These polygons should not be interpreted as areas of continuous eelgrass beds.

Description: Features in this layer delineate the SVMP study area and other regions that are meaningful for different studies. There are five features representing the SVMP regions that are used in some cases to summarize SVMP results. There are five features representing the SVMP focus areas that were used for the 2004-2012 focus area study. In addition there is a feature delineating the south Puget Sound region that is part of greater Puget Sound but is excluded from the SVMP study area.

Description: Seagrass monitoring sites that comprehensively cover the potential habitat in greater Puget Sound while being mutually exclusive. These include the sites of the SVMP 2001 sampling frames (flats and fringe) and fringe orphans as well as sites outside the sampling frames in south Puget Sound. These sampling frames have been in use since 2001. Also, several sites with boundaries independent of the SVMP frames that were delineated for special studies are also included (2013 outfall sites, Fidalgo Bay aquatic reserve, SeagrassNet site. Attributes contain summary trend and depth results from the 2000-2020 monitoring period.
