Abstract
THE coast-line of Great Britain offers an unrivalled diversity of habitats for the study of marine benthic communities. There is a considerable proportion of rocky shore, including the peculiar facies provided by the chalk of southern England; there are many stretches of sand and shingle and numerous inlets affording specialized habitats of diverse kinds. Can it be said that we are playing our part in the biological exploration of the numerous communities thus available to us? Speaking as a botanist, I would answer this question in the negative.
