Site Description: The intertidal is composed of exposed, patellobarnacle dominated fissured limestone rock, with a steeply shelving seaward face. At the transect site, the upper shore is relatively flat and sheltered, allowing the growth of a belt of Fucus spiralis, although this is not characteristic of the shore as a whole. The site has a high algal diversity and a low animal diversity.
