Arctic circalittoral coarse sediment
Description (English)
Coarse sediments in the circalittoral zone of the Arctic including coarse sand, gravel, pebbles, shingle and cobbles which are often unstable due to tidal currents and/or wave action. These habitats are generally found on the open coast or in tide-swept channels of marine inlets.
