Marchburn Port, NE Coast.

[Site list for year 1984]

Survey number: 555 Event number: 19841107/21 Date: 1984-11-07 GPS: 54.77600,-5.69400. Depth: 3.5 to 0.2 m. [ View map ]

Site Description: The site is a moderately exposed fucoid dominated boulder shore. The upper shore (just below the large rock which marks the head of the transect) is made up of a mixture of grass and boulders. The site was revisited on 10.4.87. The site is species poor, perhaps due to both the mobility of the boulder substrate, and the effect of sand scour on the lower shore.
