Results and Future PlanLine transect surveys were conducted at three sites in May and at Konori-hama in September. Spatiotemporal distribution patterns were different among the sites. Four permanent quadrats were placed at each of high, middle and low shore in the intertidal zones. Sessile algae and animals in each quadrat were recorded by taking photographs.
