The intertidal sediments experience periods of erosion and deposition which in turn influence the sediments and organisms found or washed up on the shore.
In March the strandlines separate in to an upper, comprised of bryozoa (predominantly Flustra foliacea) and a lower, comprised of red seaweeds (predominantly combweed, Plocamium sp).
The sediments of the shore in March, comprise coarser elements than during the summer.
