The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary just released its 2015 Condition Report. LiMPETS contributed to the rocky intertidal analysis, providing valuable results on changes in mussel and sea star abundances.

From the report: “On-going monitoring efforts in the sanctuary, including Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe), PISCO, RCCA and LiMPETS, will be the key to track these potential changes in the status and condition of structure-forming species in nearshore habitats.”
