Research is focussed on the processes causing and maintaining patterns of distribution and abundance of animals and plants in coastal habitats (Program 1 - Ecology in Coastal Habitats). Without a good understanding of the ecology of species in these habitats, the interactions among the species and the relationships among patches of similar or different habitat, it is not possible to solve problems in the management of coastal change. The assemblages of species on rocky shores and subtidal surfaces have long been important for developing methods and theories in general ecology. The animals and plants are very diverse, but many of them are abundant, relatively small and not too long-lived (on average) so that they allow direct experimental tests of predictions derived from ecological models and theories. The Centre for Research on Ecological Impacts of Coastal Cities (EICC) has generated many scientific papers and theses from research projects on intertidal and subtidal rocky shores.
