Nuwen Sea lettuce
Nuwen Sea Lettuce grows in shallow waters, which encourages chlorophyll synthesis, thanks to a great light exposition. The intense green color of Sea lettuce is linked to its high chlorophyll concentration. This alga is tolerant towards pollution and industrial effluents, which can explain why it grows close to human activity areas, such as marine port for example.Ulva sp. includes a set of algae with similar macroscopic features. Ulva lactuca is part of this family and is widely present in Brittany. Ulva sp is also commonly named Sea lettuce'.
