Mean rugosity was significantly higher around the MCD than the VICRNM (p<0.001), but there were no differences when comparing inside to outside for each MPA.
Mean rugosity (cm) of sites by depth of site (m). Shape indicates the MPA in which the site was located, and color indicates whether the site was inside or outside the MPA.
