THE DISTRIBUTION OF PADINA PAVONICA 45 



Locquemeau: 



Beauchamp (19146), in shallow slightly sandy pools; Feldmann (1954), '. . . species aestival 



The scarcity ofPadina reports in Cotes du Nord probably results from the few published algal 

 surveys. The coastline does not present a wholly adverse physical environment and there are 

 numerous locations of similar substrate and configuration as elsewhere support P. pavonica. 

 Known records are unequivocal, and the situation is therefore not like that of the Cornish coast.
