The data presented here were used in the manuscript: "Shifts in coralline algae, macroalgae, and coral juveniles in the Great Barrier Reef due to present-day ocean acidification" The objective of this study was to understand the impacts of present-day ocean acidification on key benthic groups (macroalgae, coralline algae, and coral juveniles) using data from independent large-scale monitoring programs and ecosystem modelling. The data include ecological information on key benthic groups (macroalgae, coralline algae, coral juveniles) combined with eReefs (CSIRO) modelled data on carbonate chemistry (aragonite saturation state), water quality (suspended fine sediment), and other environmental parameters (temperature, benthic light, and chlorophyll a). Ecological datasets are from AIMS' monitoring programs the Long-Term Monitoring Program (LTMP) and the Marine Monitoring Program (MMP). The two ecological datasets were combined to cover across the continental shelf of the Great Barrier Reef and are this combined dataset is referred to as the LTMMP dataset. An additional ecological dataset is also included, the Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) dataset. The environmental drivers are modelled data from CSIRO's publically available eReefs biogeochemical 2.0 models.
