Marine invertebrate diversity and distribution; the evidence of human activities in Rommel Bay
Abstract
The current note hypothesised that human/tourism beach activities in Rommel Bay, Marsa Matrouh, Egypt (31{degrees}2139.9"N 27{degrees}1512.3"E) affected the marine invertebrates in this area. The note resulted some new findings of arthropod, molluscan, and seagrasses species diversity and distribution. The hypothesised study concluded that human/tourism beach activities did not eliminate the invertebrate communities, but these animals have shifted and moved themselves to escape away from noise and pollution. Further investigations should be taken into consideration about aquatic insects, mites, crustaceans, seagrasses, and molluscans diversity and distribution, to figure out the actual structures and interactions between these animals within the Rommel Bay ecosystem, besides what are the stresses they have, and what are the consequences.
