Site Description: The transect is taken across an intertidal of muddy gravel and sand, with a shingle upper shore and scattered boulders on mid shore, which become more common towards the lower shore. Filiform and filamentous brown algal mats cover the sediment on the lower shore, and the lower shore boulders have a good algal diversity. The intertidal is covered by raised mounds formed from Arenicola casts. The supralittoral is formed of shingle. Between levels 2 and 3, the surface is pock marked by small depressions between Arenicola casts; small algal mats (mainly Ulva (originally recorded as Enteromorpha) ) cover part of the surface.
