Description
Seaweed lichen is a group of marine lichens that grow on rocky shores in coastal areas. These small, dark-colored lichens form cushion-like or branching structures and can withstand both saltwater immersion and desiccation. They play a role in coastal ecology by providing habitat for small marine organisms and contributing to the weathering of rocks.
