Turbidity is used to describe the concentration of suspended particles in water, inorganic (such as sand) or organic (such as various detritus). Mussel or oyster beds and macro algae turfs can decrease current velocity in close proximity of the foreshore rubble and promote sedimentation of particulate, especially in sheltered areas. Sheltered shores have a higher water turbidity, due to the decrease of underwater currents, while nearshore waters in areas exposed to wave activity have a significantly lower level of turbidity and additional scouring of sediment takes place (anon., 2010; Little et al., 2010). Therefore, more exposed rubble would have abiotic conditions, which are closer to exposed rocky shores, while in sheltered sites in time a habitat could develop that has both hard substrate and patches of soft sediment (near surface irregularities that promote sedimentation).
