Species point records from 1997 MNCR Cardigan Bay littoral survey

The shores of Cardigan Bay from Harlech to Newport in west Wales were surveyed during 2 week-long surveys. Detailed species and habitat records were completed for 63 sites, of which 24 were cored using 8 x 10.3 cm cores. The shores north of Aberystwyth are predominantly boulder and cobble with Sabellaria alveolata reefs or moderately wave-exposed sandy shores. South of Aberystwyth the shores become steeper in places and are characterised by barnacles and limpets. Sediment shores here are restricted to small embayments. The sheltered shores of Mochras Lagoon, Dysynni, Rheiddol, Ystwyth, Aeron, Teifi and Newport estuaries were surveyed.

在威尔士西部哈雷克至纽波特间的卡迪根湾沿岸，于两周时间内进行了详细调查。对63个地点的物种和栖息地进行了详尽的记录，其中24个地点使用了8 x 10.3厘米的岩芯进行采样。阿伯伊斯特威斯以北的海岸主要由巨石和圆石构成，分布有Sabellaria alveolata珊瑚礁或适度受波浪冲击的沙质海岸。阿伯伊斯特威斯以南的海岸某些区域坡度渐增，并以藤壶和贻贝为特征。此处沉积物海岸仅限于小型海湾。莫查斯潟湖、迪斯尼尼、雷伊多尔、伊斯特威斯、阿罗恩、提菲和纽波特河口的避风海岸也得到了调查。
