Metadata: 1962 - 2001 John Hawthorne, Weymouth Beach records, littoral survey
Abstract:
The simplest method of evaluating beach fauna is to visit after a period of strong easterly or south easterly winds at spring tides. John Hawthorne regularly wrote an update on the marine invertebrates he had recorded washed up on Weymouth Beach for the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society, which was published annually in their Proceedings. He notes that slight shifts in the wind may result in different communities being sampled and that the site of the offshore eelgrass community needs identifying.
