Mean change in wrack volume throughout the sampling period for cohort's one through five. Reciprocal averaging (RAVG) was used to provide a clearer representation (, separation) of the successional stages by which shore macroinvertebrates colonize beach wrack. RAVG is a multivariate ordination technique utilizing presence- absence data to describe a community in terms of an environmental gradient. It iterates species scores (present = 1; absent = 0) and site scores (survey site 1 to n) to obtain the distribution of species conforming to a site gradient (Pimentel 1979). In this study the site scores become sampling periods thereby making the site gradient the successional trend through time. Species occurring more than once in all islands of a cohort for a given sampling period were considered as "; Only these species were used in the data analyses. Results Hazard Canyon Beach received an ample supply of deposited wrack algae, mainly Macrocystis pyrifera, Nereocystis luetkeana, and Egregia menziesii, during the sampling period. Wrack islands were typically deposited in localized groups of 10 to 15 islands (approximately 1-2 m in diameter) along relatively narrow sections of coastline (less than 50 m). Zoster a marina strand occurred intermit- tently around and on unselected wrack islands. The texture and pigment conditions of the selected high beach wrack island kelp cohorts followed a typical decay sequence. Upon deposition they were dark brown, moist, and flexible, then gradually became wrinkled, less flexible and often.
