Much spawn finds a nutritive and protected environment amongst the algae.     Because cliffs and rocky beach areas usually have many suspension feeders, they probably effect the size of plankton populations along coastlines. Bo Johannesson Organisms that are found on cliffs and rocky beaches also effect terrestial environments because storms and waves throw up large amounts of algae onto the beach. When the algae decays and rots, it also fertilizes terrestial plants so they became luxuriant and splendid! Page 52 of 52 Learn more about the creatures on cliffs and rocky beaches!
