Resumen:
The dynamics of surf zone ecosystems is currently poorly understood in southern sandy beaches, Argentina. The surf-zone communities of Monte Hermoso and Pehuen Co sandy beaches were sampled during 2010. A benthic sledge was used to collect the fauna and a plastic corer to collect the sediment. A total of 4036 individuals belonging to 57 species were collected. Crustaceans were the most abundant taxonomic group. The most abundant and common species were the isopod Leptoserolis bonaerensis and an unidentified mysid (new record for the study area); both species peaked in spring and summer samples. The beaches studied present a complex and diverse surf-zone community that appears to be influenced by ?tourist? species, environmental variables such as wave height and grain size, and seasonally.
