Description

This dataset consists of a list of species of the Cladophorales sampled at the Kenyan coast between 1985 and 1992. Sampling occurred during low tide by walking in the supra- and mediolitoral zone and by snorkeling in the infralitoral zone. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Vackier, I. (1993). De Cladophorales (Chlorophyta) van de Keniaanse kust; The Cladophorales (Chlorophyta) of the Kenyan coast.. MSc Thesis. Rijksuniversiteit Gent. Faculteit Wetenschappen: Gent. 80, fig. Pp.
