Quadrats‚ Salinity and pH Levels‚ and The Temperature of various areas. - A Transect line was used to take a random sample of organisms that occur on the sloping rock on the edge of the rock platform. Organisms generally occupy and dominate specific zones. This sampling technique was carried out by constructing a line transect to examine the rock platform from an area of extreme low tide to an area of extreme high tide. Starting at the 0m mark the dominant organisms were identified at each meter. This
