The dynamic nature of the sediment regime at this cove is
exemplified by the following images taken four months apart over the winter.
Since September winter storms have eroded the overlying sand
at the top of the shore to reveal the boulders beneath.
Visiting the shore at different stages in this cyclic pattern would result in varying habitat classifications, illustrating the importance of temporal scales when rockpooling.
