Concept: Shingle (pebble) and gravel shores in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A2.11
Preferred label	Shingle (pebble) and gravel shores
Definition	Shores of shingle (mobile cobbles and pebbles) or coarse gravel, typically deposited as a result of onshore wave action and long-shore drift. The particle size tends to increase along the shore in the direction of the long-shore drift. As the sediment is very coarse and often quite mobile, it typically supports little marine life, other than opportunist amphipods and oligochaete worms. Summer growths of ephemeral green algae ([Enteromorpha] spp.) may develop.
