The breakwater in Plymouth Sound offers a simple case of two adjacent populations ofintertidal organisms subjected to quite different degrees of exposure to wave-action. The other environmental factors, with a few exceptions, are approximately the same each side, and the effects of the wave-action should be clearly demonstrable.
