Ringburr Point, Strangford Lough.

[Site list for year 1985]

Survey number: 555 Event number: 19850708/21 Date: 1985-07-08 GPS: 54.42300,-5.57600. Depth: 3.5 to 0.2 m. [ View map ]

Site Description: The site is an Ascophyllum dominated boulder and gravel shore to the north of a headland on the eastern shore of Strangford Lough. There is a wide intertidal region. The laminarian zone was well exposed on the sampling date. relative animal diversity, while good in terms of the Northern Ireland coastline, was not high in comparison with other sites in Strangford Lough of a similar intertidal extent, perhaps because the lower shore substrate in which the boulders are embedded is muddy.
