Classification des habitats EUNIS 2022

Descriptif de l'habitat

This habitat is found in coves which cut into the rocky coasts with more or less strong wave action; it goes no more than a few decimetres down. This habitat is very ill known. The population is dominated by the Saccocirrus papillocercus archiannelid and the Lineus lacteus nemertean, whose populations fluctuate strongly according to variations in the ambient factors, in particular the local hydrodynamics.
