Strand line fauna of beaches on the east coast of Tasmania

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

Sandy beaches on Tasmania's east coast, from Catamaran to Cape Portland, were sampled between September 1994 and June 1995. At each of 120 sites the strandline fauna was sampled using pitfall traps set overnight during the low tide period. A number of physical and biotic characteristics of each beach were also measured.
