Frederico Pena, Dylan Torres.
This algae was collected in Porto Covo, Sines, Portugal, more specifically, at Praia dos Buizinhos. This is a small beach,
surrounded by cliff sides and rock formations in the water, almost creating a small bay. The name derives from the
significant amount of small conch shells present in its white sands.
