During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice covered all rocky shores in eastern N-America while on the shores of Europe ice reached south of Ireland where rocky shores were found south of the glacier. After the LGM, rocky shores ecosystem development along European coasts was influenced mainly by movement of the littoral species in the wake of receding ice, while rocky shores of Iceland and NE-America were most likely colonized from N-Europe. Climate change likely facilitates new introductions of southerly species and removal of northern species which may change rocky shore ecosystems in Iceland. Rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) has been harvested commercially in Breiðafjörður since 1975. Plans to increase harvesting create need for informatio...
