Pelvetia canaliculata is a seaweed that grows on hard substrates on very sheltered to moderately exposed upper shores. Here it is growing on old wooden groynes near the mouth of the river Rother. It’s very tolerant of drying out and can survive for up to eight days out of water. Some of this seaweed spends up to 90 per cent of the time out of water.
