The specimen above was accidentally discovered in a sediment sample taken from the shallow subtidal on an exceptionally low tide at Western Cressars, Penzance, Cornwall, 28.04.21; it is therefore best classes as driftweed, but is very likely to be of local origin.

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.
