Table 2.

Mean relative frequency of beneficiary subclasses among assessment areas within each cluster (see Figs. 1, 4). Only beneficiaries in the top twenty for at least one cluster are shown. Shading indicates for each cluster, the beneficiaries in the top five (dark grey, bold), top ten (medium grey), top twenty (light grey), or lower (white), on average across all ecosystem types. Superscripts indicate the habitat for which relative frequency of that beneficiary was highest, if ecosystems were significantly different within that cluster (Kruskal-Wallis; Dunn’s corrected alpha <0.0001). Bch=Beach; Ben=Benthic Habitat; Fsh=Fish Habitat; Rck=Rocky Shore; SaM=Salt Marsh; SeG=Seagrass; TiF=Tidal Flat; NCo=Non-specific coastal habitats.
