INTRODUCTION
My pilot study and extended investigation is to be conducted at Hunt's Bay, Gower.
Hunt's Bay or Deep Slade is situated on the Gower Peninsula facing south. The OS (ordinance survey) grid reference of hunt's bay, from a mumbles and south Gower map is 564 868 (see appendix 1). It is a rocky beach. The rocks are made up of carboniferous limestone, a sedimentary rock. We decided that the bedding planes at Hunt's Bay are about 45 degrees from each other, with smooth fronts due to erosion by the sea. This will affect the type and amount of sea life at the beach.
