Review Comments: Clarifying Terminology, Figure Layout, and Sampling Details

The reviewer is questioning the use of the term 'saline' in Fig. 3 and suggesting the use of 'marine' instead. They also ask for clarification on what 'surface' refers to and how many datasets were considered. For Fig. 3b, the reviewer suggests moving it to the supplements and improving the layout, particularly the readability of the x-axis dates. Finally, the reviewer asks if there are any details provided in the Materials and Methods section about the sampling campaigns for intertidal and subtidal areas.
