This dataset contains length, width and weight measurements of <i>Echinotrix diadema</i> and <i>E. Calamaris</i> sampled in Mombasa Marine National Park (Kenya) from December 1994 to March 1995. Animals were collected collected at low tide in the reef lagoon and in the channel on the Northern side of Mombasa island, in front of the Kenya Marine Fishery and Research Institute (K.M.F.R.I.).
