Spring has come!
As spring arrives, the time of the lowest daily low tide shifts from nighttime to daytime, making intertidal algae surveys easier to conduct on the rocky shore. Yesterday, we conducted a survey at Nishikata Beach, Satsuma-Sendai City, which faces the East China Sea. Notably, Pyropia suborbiculata, Grateloupia asiatica, and Gloiopeltis furcata were abundant on the intertidal rocks.
