Abstract
The density and diversity of algae and invertebrates in the rocky marine intertidal were studied at three sites differing in degree of human trampling. Quantitative sampling showed that (1) a general pattern of higher density and diversity occurred at the less trampled sites, (2) the densities of the mussels and barnacles and the diversity of algae were unaffected and (3) at the most trampled site, the brown alga Pelvetiopsis limitata was absent and the small bivalves Lasaea spp. were found in lower densities.
