Sample log of debris collected from available JTMD items to assess species diversity, total abundance, density, and biomass. Information in this log includes sample identification numbers, date collected and date the sample arrived for analysis, the method of sampling (e.g., scraped or individuals were sampled), the source of the sample (e.g. boat, bumper, seawall), a description of the organisms removed from the debris, preservation method, current location of the sample, whether photographs were taken and their location, and various notes and comments.
