dc.description.abstractThis thesis was undertaken to provide quantitative scientific information for decision-making and conservation planning for the previously scarcely studied rocky intertidal habitats in KwaZulu-Natal on the east coast of South Africa. Biogeographic patterns were resolved and abiotic determinants and harvesting impacts were identified at three different scales. A biotope classifiadion system was developed as a new tool for assessing the conservation status of intertidal communities, evaluating conservation priorities and monitoring change in intertidal habitats. The implications of the findings of this thesis for management and conservation planning were examined.en_ZA
