Description
The effects of overharging ledges on subtidal macroinvertebrate
infauna was investigated in northern Broward County, Florida during
August 1976 and February 1977. At each of six stations along a
limestone outcropping, collections were made from open sand areas and
adjacent underledge areas. Organisms retained on a 0.5mm screen were
collected and identified. Although open sand and underledge areas
yielded essentially the same species, faunal densities were consistently
and conspicuously lower in the latter sites. Differences were probably
a result of current activity as it affected detritovores and filter
feeding organisms.
