Core taxa based on richness found across all samples, sediment (SED) or seawater (SEA) environment types, and Sheltered (SH), Minor Outlet (MN), or Major Outlet (MJ) site locations. Core phyla and classes highlighted in yellow are specific to that environment type. Core genera highlighted in yellow indicate unique Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) numbers for repetitive names.
