RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The rocky shore sublittoral fringe of the oceanic coasts of Tasmania contains a subzone dominated by the large brown alga Xiphophora gladiata. The community composition of this subzone is here examined at fourteen sites. The phytal and faunal assemblages are analysed by principal co-ordinate, classification and nodal analyses. This subzone is found to have a high species richness, including species which had been thought to occupy only higher or lower tidal levels.
It is suggested that both plant and animal assemblages are strongly influenced by wave exposure, freshwater run-off and geography.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
