Notes on habitat mapping
This habitat type includes shingle and gravel beaches supporting the typical halophytic vegetation which is dominated by perennial species. Smaller areas free of vegetation located in between occurrences of the relevant vegetation can be included under this type.
Along sea cliffs (1230) seaward shingle beaches supporting the relevant vegetation are recorded separately (1220).
