Methods

Sites were located at random intervals along the shoreline (20 sites). and along 4 north-south transects in the profundal (>7 m) zone. At all sites near the shoreline. we collected samples at the water boundary (0.1?0.3 m). 0.5 m. and 1 m depths. Samples were collected by scraping molluscs from rocks (surface area 0.01?0.12 m2). while Ekman grabs (0.023 m2) were used to sample softer sediments. Quantitative samples were collected by scraping molluscs from rocks (surface area 0.01?0.12 m2). while Ekman grabs (0.023 m2) were used to sample softer sediments. Quantitative samples were collected by scraping molluscs from rocks (surface area 0.01?0.12 m2). while Ekman grabs (0.023 m2) were used to sample softer sediments. Samples were collected by scraping mollsucs from rocks (surface area 0.01-0.12 m2) while Ekman grabs (0.023m2) were used to sample softer sediments.
