Underwater Life The
coastline of Cemlyn includes areas of shingle, sand
and exposed rocky shore. These provide habitats for
a variety of marine life including sea-anemones, crabs,
prawns, blennies, butterfish, winkles, whelks, limpets,
coastal lichens and a range of seaweeds. e.g. kelp.
The lagoon, with its changing mixture of fresh and salt
water is a challenging environment, but Grey Mullet
and Eels thrive in the brackish conditions. In fact
Cemlyn is one of the top sites for specialised saline
lagoon wildlife including shrimps and molluscs, and
waterplants like Tassel Pondweed. |
