Search Species Distribution
This section of AlgaeBase contains information on the distribution of the species. It is being updated at present and is growing every day.
Click here to view a graphical representation of the progress to date. If you pass your cursor over each country you will get a species-record count for that country.
To get a list of distributional records, select "Region" (e.g., Europe, North America, etc.) or select Geography (such as Canary Islands, Azores), OR a country (such as, France, Spain). The data can be downloaded in a number of formats (e.g., Excel, text file). You can also select the Habitat and restrict the download to a particular class (e.g. Phaeophyceae) from drop-downs that will appear. 446,040 records have been entered, but the task is still very incomplete, particularly for non-marine algae.
