Table 3 Estimated annual trend u, with upper and lower 95% confidence intervals generated by MARSS using percentage cover of three benthic habitat cover classes, and rugosity. Bold font indicates estimates with 95% confidence intervals not overlapping zero, and so a robust evidence of a declining trend. Pooled = Sanctuary and Recreational Zone combined.
