20. ABSTRACT (Continue em reverse side ff meceseary and identify by block number) 
Quarrystone jetties constructed at Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, were 
studied over a 4-year period to evaluate community development patterns of 
biota colonizing the rocks. Sessile macroinvertebrates and algae were 
quantitatively assessed using line-transect and photographed-quadrat censusing 
techniques. Motile epifauna were also quantitatively sampled using a suction 
device, and fishes were qualitatively assessed using gill nets, hook and line, 
traps, seine net, and through visual observations while scuba diving.
