(West Sussex coast)	Point	50.6681236171492	-0.801542336157963	WGS84	126792	Callionymus lyra	FALSE	Not set	Not set	FALSE	The clay bedrock was heavily bored by Pholas dactylus and unstable. Surfaces were relatively bare but small Dysidea fragilis and Amphilectus fucorum were found on vertical surfaces and Urticina felina was common on flat surfaces. Holes were often occupied by Galathea squamifera.

It was generally stable and well colonised by burrowing species such as Mya truncata, Lanice conchilega and Cerianthus lloydii. Dead shells were frequently mixed with gravel, in particular Crepidula fornicata which was found all over the area with patches of great abundance especially in the west. Mytilus edulis fulfilled a similar role in the shallow waters south of Selsey Bill, north of the Mixon Hole and also on the south side of Pullar Bank. A variety of species colonised the gravel surface, particularly Alcyonidium diaphanum, Flustra foliacea, Polycarpa pomaria Styela clava, Urticina felina and Sabellaria sp. The larger the stones, the more diverse was the community. An uncharacteristic area of gravel was found in a dredged area around Horse Tail where pits several metres deep and devoid of life were found. Initial colonisation by barnacles including Elminius modestus, was observed. NOTE: Substratum % data are converted from the original substratum 1-3 scoring system.

In deeper water, there were large numbers of burrowing polychaetes, especially Lanice conchilega and Amphitrite sp. Corystes cassivelaunus was found at two locations and Urticina felina was widespread. In the narrow entrance to Chichester Harbour there was a 20 metre deep trench maintained by strong tidal currents. The east side was very steep and apparently composed of sand held together by Sabellaria sp. tubes. NOTE: Substratum % data are converted from the original substratum 1-3 scoring system.
