Selk Rock, Strangford Lough.
Survey number: 555 Event number: 19860408/21 Date: 1986-04-08 GPS: 54.39200,-5.57800. Depth: 3.5 to 0.2 m. [ View map ]
Site Description: A sheltered boulder and rock ridge (fissured) shore which is fucoid dominated mainly by Ascophyllum. The transect is situated over small slate-like ridges in the upper shore, a boulder flat stone and coarse sand and gravel mid shore, with a large relatively flat rock ridge (fissured) towards the lower shore. The extreme lower shore is of boulders and flat stones on coarse sand. The shore site is situated adjacent to Ballyhenry Island (NT owned) which has a near permanent causeway to land. The site is backed by a small saltmarsh. Waders, wildfowl and seabirds were seen on the shore. The zonation is fucoid with narrow upper and lower zones, and a large Ascophyllum dominated mid shore.
