Abstract: This project would continue investigations into the damage of the shallow subtidal and intertidal invertebrates and algal communities. The project would investigate important community interactions between and among invertebrates and algae for determining factors that limit or control recovery. Investigations would address whether: dominant competitors and resident predators limit recovery on the damaged intertidal community; predators are limited by reduced prey; the recovery of community structure is limited by recruitment processes; and physical processes limit recovery of intertidal species, including the effects of damaged species that act as structure and protection of other species.
