Sampling comments: "Six parallel transects at 25-m intervals were established... Transects were 180 m long with sampling points at 10-m intervals, were nor- mal to the shoreline, originated at the mean high tide line, and ended at the edge of the thicket... At each sample point, 10 standardized sweeps with an insect net (40 cm diam) covered a 2.25-m2 area... Transects were sampled at 2-wk intervals from mid-July through October, and again in mid-December 1997" (works out to about 9 sampling events)
