Published date 2015-03Offshore (deep) circalittoral habitats with coarse sands and gravel, stone or shell and occasionally a little silt (Glycera lapidum and Amythasides macroglossus with the bivalve Thyasira spp. (particu...
SS.SCS.OCS Offshore circalittoral coarse sediment
Published date 2015-03Offshore (deep) circalittoral habitats with coarse sands and gravel or shell. This habitat may cover large areas of the offshore continental shelf although there is relatively little quantitative data...
LR.FLR.Rkp.FK.Sar Sargassum muticum in eulittoral rockpools
Published date 2015-03Shallow rockpools throughout the eulittoral zone on exposed to moderately exposed shores dominated by the brown seaweed Sargassum muticum and the red seaweed Corallina officinalis. Other brown seaweed...
IR.MIR.KR.LhypT.Pk Laminaria hyperborea park with hydroids, bryozoans and sponges on tide-swept lower infralittoral rock
Published date 2015-03Exposed to moderately wave-exposed, strongly tide-swept, rock with Laminaria hyperborea park characterised by a rich under-storey and stipe flora of foliose seaweeds such as Phycodrys rubens, Plocamiu...
LR.FLR.Lic Lichens or small green algae on supralittoral and littoral fringe rock
Published date 2015-03Lichen communities typically form a distinct zone or band in a 'splash' zone on most rocky shores. This splash zone occurs above the main intertidal zone (i.e. that subject to regular covering by the ...
SS.SMx.CMx.ClloMx.Nem Cerianthus lloydii with Nemertesia spp. and other hydroids in circalittoral muddy mixed sediment
Published date 2015-03In sheltered muddy sandy gravel with appreciable quantities of surficial cobbles, pebbles and shells a community similar to SS.SMx.CMx.ClloMx may develop with frequent Cerianthus lloydii and other bur...
LS.LBR.LMus.Myt.Mu Mytilus edulis beds on littoral mud
Published date 2015-03Dense mussel beds found in sheltered conditions on mud. There is a build up of pseudofaeces that results in a bed that is very soft to walk on, and sediment which is anoxic to the surface. Pools are o...
