Mediterranean littoral coarse sediment

Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

Mediterranean littoral coarse sediments include shores of mobile pebbles, cobbles and gravel, sometimes with varying amounts of coarse sand. The sediment is highly mobile and subject to high degrees of drying between tides. As a result, few species are able to survive in this environment.
