Popis: A study of the intertidal macro-invertebrate fauna of south east England was carried out as part of the investigations funded by the Department of the Environment of the likely ecological implications of the Maplin development proposals. The main aim of this study was to determine the potential food resource the invertebrate populations represent for the large numbers of wading birds which overwinter in this region. This article will concern itself solely with aspects of the invertebrate populations, the relationships between the waders and their invertebrate food supply will be presented separately (Kay, Blindell & Goss-Custard, in prep.).
