Update to the Coded List of Freshwater Algae of Britain and Ireland

A new and updated version of the Coded List of Freshwater Algae of Britain and Ireland has been published on the CEH website.

The list includes all reliable records up to November 2014 of freshwater and terrestrial cyanobacteria and photosynthetic algae in the British Isles with the exception of diatoms, for which there is only a partial list. Brackish water and intertidal cyanobacteria are also included, because a few species have been recorded from both freshwater and marine environments.

The list is the fifth update of one prepared originally for the then Water Data Unit of the (UK) Department of the Environment in 1978.
