The data were recorded by school students as part of an educational survey. Students were told to confirm problematic identifications with an expert instead of guessing. Lengths were recorded using a caliper. While gps coordinates were provided for transect start points the end points had to be extrapolated using the bearings provided and photographic evidence of the location.
