Limpets are a rocky shore gastropod; an animal with a muscular foot that grazes upon microalgae with a rasping tongue. The common limpet (Patella vulgata) can live for up to 17 years and is adapted to surviving tidal changes, physical stress such as weather and extreme temperature changes. Limpets are a key species and therefore an important part of the food chain. Populations are threatened through human impact namely unaware visitors removing them from the rock.
