Site Description: The transect lies diagonally across the intertidal to the south of the only sea stack along this stretch of coastline. The coastal backing is low cliff and the transect site itself is composed of an upper flat igneous rock platform, dropping steeply away to a lower shore of large and medium boulders and small igneous rock outcrops. This is an exposed patellobarnacle dominated shore.
