previous monitoring at the Point Loma sites. The National Park Service funded surveys at the 3 Cabrillo National Monument sites from 1990 to 1995. The Navy funded surveys at Navy North and Navy South in 1995. Both agencies will continue the monitoring surveys upon conclusion of this project. This final project report provides the results of 4 biannual baseline monitoring surveys conducted from Fall 1996 through Spring 1998 at 5 rocky intertidal sites along the outer coast of Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California. The primary project objective was to increase regional understanding of population dynamics of important rocky intertidal species in order to help assess and reduce human impacts, including possible effects of oil transport accidents and public visitation. The work was carried out with cooperative assistance from the U.S. National Park Service and the U.S. Navy, who sponsored prior monitoring at the sites and will continue the monitoring upon conclusion of this project. The National Park Service funded surveys at 3 contiguous sites along a visitor use gradient at the Cabrillo National Monument at the southern end of Point Loma from 1990 to 1995. The Navy funded surveys farther north on the Fort Rosecrans Military Reservation at sites designated Navy North and Navy South in 1995 to provide baseline information for minimizing impacts from nearby Navy facilities.
