Abstract
Synopsis An intertidal rocky shore monitoring programme was established in 1981 as part of the Beatrice Environmental Programme covering thirty-four different locations in the Moray Firth between Duncansby Head and Fraserburgh. This paper describes the survey methods, the species found and the rocky shore communities encountered on these shores. During the development of the Beatrice Oil Field a new shore line was created in the Cromarty Firth at the Nigg terminal and the successional changes in the communities on this shore between 1981 and 1984 are discussed.
