NSIS: List of marine benthic algae from Magdalen Islands, Quebec as recorded in 1979

This resource contains species identified by De Seve et al )(1978) and Cardinal (1967a, 1968). These works were previously published in uncirculated reports.

Sampling took place in the Iles de la Madeleine archipelago, a group of islands located on the Magdalen Shallows near the centre of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, an inland sea in the Northwest Atlantic. The islands have long sand bars enclosing several lagoons, some of which have channels open to the sea (Tiphane 1976).
