Natural Geography In Shore Areas (NaGISA), a Census of Marine Life (CoML) project, is aimed at assessing nearshore biodiversity on a global scale. NaGISA promotes simple standardized protocols and focuses on widespread nearshore habitats. This text introduces the reader to the basic concepts of biodiversity-sampling and coastal habitat ecology while outlining NaGISA's standardized field methods for macroalgal and seagrass communities. Written by premier coastal ecologists and taxonomists it has been organized into short, easy to read sections, making it ideal as a text for field courses, a manual for coastal managers or as a reference guide for those attempting to inventory species or monitor their local shoreline.
