Site Description: Physically the shore may be divided into three - an upper shore made up of medium and small limestone boulders - large flat limestone blocks on the lower shore (pock-marked by small depressions on their surface) - between the blocks on a lower level is an area dominated by small limestone boulders, pebbles, and gravel. There is one wide, shallow rock pool in the transect area, at the base of the upper shore. The small depressions on top of the limestone blocks are often filled with water; on the extreme lower shore, the depressions are rock-pool sized. Other important sub habitats are crevices between the limestone blocks and overhangs under the limestone blocks.
