Mearns Rock Quad 2004
Much of the quad is covered by young Fucus plants in 2004. No mussels are visible. The tiny barnacles that set in 2003 have grown, creating a white crust under the Fucus. This year, there is little or no bare rock. Note the new species of seaweed (resembling a spider) in the upper right section.
