Mahee Island, Strangford Lough.

Survey number: 555 Event number: 19850627/21 Date: 1985-06-27 GPS: 54.49600,-5.64500. Depth: 3.5 to 0.2 m. [ View map ]

Site Description: The transect lies on a headland immediately to the south of a large bungalow with a generator hut and three slipways. Access is easily obtainable. The transect site is composed of a steep silt covered Ascophyllum dominated upper boulder shore and a flatter lower shore. The lower shore is strongly influenced by the tide race between Mahee Island and Rainey Island. There was a good exposure of Laminaria on the sampling date.
