Benthic cover data from: Sea-weeding: manual removal of macroalgae facilitates rapid coral recovery

This data record contains benthic survey data from 2018-2021 from the sea-weeding field experiment at Magnetic Island

Software/equipment used to create/collect the data:

Benthic data were collected using photographic surveys (Olympus TG6) followed by point count software (CPCe).
Biomass data were collected in the field with a fish scale. 
PIT data were collected in the field using transect tapes and slates.
