Abstract
This paper describes the examination of pebble grading below low-water mark off Chesil Bank, Dorset, using skin-diving techniques. It is found, contrary to some of the statements in previous literature, that there is no reversal of size grading of pebbles below low water compared with that present on the beach, but a series of zones are shown to exist parallel to the Bank which appear to be related both to its evolution and to present-day wave action. The zones are thought to be best defined under constructive wave conditions, and suggestions on their relationship with the Bank are put forward.
