1520 © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Abstract 1. The Mw 7.8 earthquake that struck the north‐east coast of the South Island of New Zealand in November 2016 caused extensive upheaval, of up to 6 m, over 110 km of coastline. Intertidal habitats were greatly affected with extensive die‐ off of algal communities, high mortalities of benthic invertebrates, and greatly reduced ecosystem functioning, such as primary productivity. Only isolated pockets of key species remained in these areas, many of which were within protected areas around Kaikōura.
