This study tested whether the development of coralligenous assemblages on horizontal and vertical surfaces differed between localities of high and low sediment deposition. The development and structure of these assemblages varied in predictable ways according to the level of sediment deposition. These differences were largely independent of the orientation of substratum. Turfs were more extensive in areas of high sediment deposition while erect and encrusting algae were most extensive in areas of low sediment deposition. Encrusting invertebrates characterised vertical surfaces and were most extensive in areas of high sediment deposition. These results are consistent with studies from other temperate regions of the globe, suggesting that effects of sedimentation on temperate coasts are substantial and widespread.
