Survey number: 555 Event number: 19850905/21 Date: 1985-09-05 GPS: 55.05283,-5.96500. Depth: 3.5 to 0.2 m. [ View map ]

Site Description: There was a very poor tide on the sampling date. This is a moderately exposed boulder shore, dominated by fucoids, with an additional cover of green algae and Porphyra on the upper shore. The supralittoral is composed of steeply shelving limestone and igneous shingle, with a conspicuous strandline. Below this is a narrow layer of limestone and igneous cobbles, which in turn gives way to the medium and small igneous boulders of the intertidal region. The Laminaria zone was dominated by Laminaria digitata, but was unreachable on this tide.
