There are many species of red seaweeds in California, but we will only cover some of the common species on our web page. The list below represents some of the more common species that one can encounter in California. Active links to those species we have photographed or scanned are in blue. Like most of our website, this is a work in progress. Please re-visit for updates. All of the seaweed pictures here were taken by Luis A. Solorzano using an Olympus C-2100 digital camera. |
