The results of these analyses (Table 2), offering a comprehensive overview of the trophic dynamics observed in the study area. Visual count variations across seasons were represented via histograms and analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Due to dataset conditions not meeting parametric or non-parametric criteria, an exhaustive statistical analysis comparing measured parameters across video transects was not conducted. Acknowledging potential data errors, a deliberate approach was adopted to manage uncertainties and facilitate comparative analyses. Acknowledgments This research received funding from Consorci del Colls i Miralpeix Costes del Garraf, and ecosystem sampling and data acquisition were supported by the Promar Association (Vilanova i la Geltrú). The design and implementation of geode structures submerged in the study area were carried out by Litoral Consult. This project received valuable contributions from Sílvia Gili from Acció-Natura.
