You may want to contact the USEPA about the NARS program data, that includes the NCCA, National coastal condition assessment data - see this site: https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/data-national-aquatic-resource-surveys
Their data were not subsampled, and I believe biomass may have been measured also. Another database they maintain is benthic data from offshore dredging assessment, the ODMDS program.
