Data are from surveys tracking the abundance of intermediate predator species with tidal elevation from 2014-2015 following sea star wasting disease. The surveys were in permanent transect lines that were in an inverted "T" shape with a vertical line from the low to high zones and a horizontal line at the lower edge of the mussel bed.
