Site Description: A moderately exposed basalt boulder shore on the Co. Antrim east coast. The shore was similar along the whole intertidal with medium and small boulders on top of pebbles on top gravel and sand. Only in small depressions did pools occur - the major sub habitat being 'under boulders'. A large manmade depression forming a slipway was present just to the south of the transect site. The shore appeared spartan in the middle and upper shores with little algal cover, but had a good cover of Fucus serratus/red algae and Laminaria at the lower shore. Many littorinids occurred at all levels.
