Concept: Sublittoral coarse sediment in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A5.1
Preferred label	Sublittoral coarse sediment
Definition	Coarse sediments including coarse sand, gravel, pebbles, shingle and cobbles which are often unstable due to tidal currents and/or wave action. These habitats are generally found on the open coast or in tide-swept channels of marine inlets. They typically have a low silt content and a lack of a significant seaweed component. They are characterised by a robust fauna including venerid bivalves.
