A barplot showing the general decrease in metabarcoding OTU richness for the period 2020-2022, compared to the previous period 2014-2015. Two general pictures of both sampled National Parks, CΓ­es Islands in the Atlantic and Cabrera Archipelago in the Mediterranean. Also, three small pictures of the sampled underwater communities are shown.
