Images of species found on uppershore rocks and slipway at Chimney Rocks, Penzance, Cornwall, 06.04.11; also found on the concrete path surrounding the swimming pool at Tavis Vor, Mousehole, Cornwall. 28.11.14.
This species can cover intertidal rocks and man made surfaces, on the uppershore during winter months, leaving them extremely slippery indeed.
AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
