Concept: Rock cliffs, ledges and shores, including the supralittoral in the eunishabitats vocabulary

Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/B3
Preferred label	Rock cliffs, ledges and shores, including the supralittoral
Definition	Rock exposures adjacent to the oceans, their connected seas and associated coastal lagoons, or separated from them by a narrow shoreline. The faces, ledges and caves of sea-cliffs and the expanses of rocky shore are important as reproduction, resting and feeding sites for seabirds, sea-mammals and a few groups of terrestrial birds. Sea-cliffs may also harbour highly distinctive, specialised salt-tolerant vegetation with associated terrestrial fauna.
