| Lineage | In order to make information on kelp distribution useful for the comparative assessment of the three sites and in order to attribute a value to kelp as feature acting both as barrier and collector of waxy oil, a qualitative assessment of density? of kelp has been undertaken. All the kelp that covered a continuous area greater than 1 sqkm was considered dense. While the kelp that showed less than 1 sqkm but more fragmented was classified as moderate. Finally, the kelp identified by simply long stretches parallel to the coast was assessed as thin. |
