- Few data sets are available to evaluate short- and long-term perturbations and impacts of increasing anthropogenic stresses and a warming marine environment in coastal regions near cities. The Perth, Western Australia shoreline has extensive, depauperate sandy beaches interrupted by small, biodiverse intertidal reef platforms. We present transect data on mollusc diversity and density on three Perth platforms recorded from 1983 to 1987, and compare it to 2007 and 2021 to analyse assemblage modifications in response to increased anthropogenic pressures. NMDS multivariate analysis showed a consistent drift in assemblage composition in 2007 and 2021, but this is was not statistically significant from the 1980s baseline (PERMANOVA, P = 0.336). There was no significant long-term decline (or increase) in molluscan species richness. Most species were uncommon but eight were recorded on at least 20 of the 21 surveys. The endemic Western Australian mussel Brachidontes ustulatus (Lamarck, 1819) accounted for 71.8% of all individuals. Total mollusc density varied primarily with changes in B. ustulatus. Tropical species were a minor component of the molluscs that did not change in diversity with warming temperatures. These data provide a long-term baseline for monitoring future anthropogenic changes.
