Abstract :
A coastal area is a confluence of land and marine ecosystems and includes the independent biological, ecological, and geological area. Increasing pressure on these areas can decrease the quality of marine habitats, and can even lead to the loss of sensitive habitats (Lund and Wilbur, 2007). In this regard, a “biotope” has been suggested as the most informative operational unit for research and management (Costello, 2009).
