Dundrum Inner Bay (south), SE Coast.

Survey number: 555 Event number: 19870415/21 Date: 1987-04-15 GPS: 54.24783,-5.85700. Depth: 3.5 to 0.2 m. [ View map ]

Site Description: Dundrum Inner Bay (south) differs from the northern part of the bay in two main respects. Firstly there seems to be a more pronounced freshwater influence in the more enclosed southern part of the bay (clumps of Fucus ceranoides grow at high tide level as well as in the river channels in the southern part, whereas it grows only in the channels of the northern bay). Secondly the main substrate is stony, muddy gravel rather than muddy sand. 5 box quadrats were taken at two sites.
