+  * RG: 12-6-2020
+  * Updates to benthic groups: BC, LOB, RCB, BMS, TWH and SWH
+  * Changes to LOB, RCB, BMS and BC mum, C and E values to try to get the benthic community to persist at reasonable levels.
+  * Decreases to quadratic mortality for TWH and SWH to allow them to persist at higher levels.
