Site Description: This is a SE facing barnacle dominated boulder shore, just south of Russell's Point. The upper part of the intertidal is dominated by low lying sandstone ridges with wide shallow pools and occasional boulders. Most of the intertidal is composed of large and medium igneous boulders stretching from the ridges to low water, where the areas between the boulders are filled with sand. The upper shore is dominated by Fucus spiralis and littorinids, the mid shore by barnacles with limpets and Nucella, and the lower shore by Fucus serratus and red algae.
