publication 20 March 1967) SUMMARY The distributions of 19 species of polychaetes burrowing in the intertidal sand and mudbanks of the Heathcote Estuary‚ New Zealand‚ are related to salinity‚ sediment grade‚ and length of time of exposure at low tide. Only Nicon aestuariensis Knox and Scotecolepides benhami Ehlers appear to be truly estuarine species reaching their greatest population densities in low salinities. Incidental observations of feeding and reproduction are reported. INTRODUCTION There

The platform lies at the base of a cliff‚ and is usually sheltered from the constant barrage of waves‚ except occasionally at high tide when the occasional wave will replenish the water in each rock pool. However‚ the platform can become quite windy‚ as there is no shelter from an onshore wind. The classes from Redlands College were constantly buffeted by the onshore wind while they

Coastal Erosion Coastal Erosion is a huge problem today and is causing our beaches to get smaller and smaller every year. Coastal erosion is also causing the coast lines to recede and therefore taking away space for which people build on. Even though coastal erosion causes issues it is also the effect of something‚ Humans! Nature has a way of keeping the world in balance‚ it creates things such as barrier islands and sand dunes to help protect against costal erosion. However‚ humans play a
