Concept: Infralittoral fine sand in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A5.23
Preferred label	Infralittoral fine sand
Definition	Clean sands which occur in shallow water, either on the open coast or in tide-swept channels of marine inlets. The habitat typically lacks a significant seaweed component and is characterised by robust fauna, particularly amphipods ([Bathyporeia]) and robust polychaetes including [Nephtys cirrosa] and [Lanice conchilega].
