Description
Quantitative results of benthic flora species/taxon biomass dry weight and areal coverage sampled during Estonian national monitoring in the Estonian coastal sea, Baltic Sea. The samples are taken according to the Manual for Marine Monitoring in the COMBINE programme of HELCOM, annex C-8 and C-9.
