Summary
Abstract: Lists all marine plant species and maps their distributions from the first
records (1911) to 1999 and includes 348 seaweed and 4 seagrass species from 456
intertidal to shallow subtidal locations. This inventory had detailed regional
starting points (Hawkes et al. 1978; Scagel et al. 1993) and >90% of the plant
species are represented by specimens in the Phycological Herbarium of the
University of ... View entire text
