How are scores calculated?

Your group's overall score reflects how closely your reported values match the group averages, calibrated against typical performance from a fixed baseline period of past training years. The overall score is based on the average of the scores below for species abundance, blade length, and short shoot density. To learn more about how scores are calculated, check out the scoring document.
Abundance reported (most common) Blade length reported cm (most common) Short shoot density reported per m 2 (most common)
Halodule Transect 3 51-75% (51-75%) 25 (24.6) 9 (9)
Transect 7 51-75% (25-50%) 0 (5.1)
Transect 8 25-50% (25-50%) 19.6 (21.3) 5 (5.5)
Transect 10 51-75% (25-50%) 0 (1.7)
Syringodium Transect 7 25-50% (5-25%) 0 (7)
Transect 9 few (few) 20.6 (20.9) 0.3 (0.7)

Species shaded grey (non-SAV) are only scored on abundance.
Abundance summary

C+ 

reported values are less consistent than other groups, direction varies by species

Halodule +0.5 mean BB categories away across transects

Syringodium +0.5 mean BB categories away across transects

Thalassia -0.4 mean BB categories away across transects

DR: Acanthophora missed, true cover was <5%

DR: Chondria missed, true cover was few

DR: Hypnea missed, true cover was few

Blade Length summary

B+ 

reported values are about as consistent as other groups, typically slightly lower

Halodule -1.5 cm difference on average across transects
