Extract

As a result of the geological formation of the Isle of Wight there is a great variety in the type of shore. Although much of the coastline is unsuitable for the establishment of algal communities there are some parts where a few species can exist, and others where full zonation is achieved. It therefore seemed worth making some study of the algal distribution. Towards this end a general survey was made of the south coast of the island in April 1955, with more detailed studies of the places of interest by means of transects in April and July 1955.
