MAINE DEPT. OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: HABITAT RANKING

Explains the use of rockweed as a habitat (see p. 3-5):

as a nursery for commercial species, as a primary producer, high primary/secondary production, shelter, structure for attachment of settling larvae, food resources for one or more functional groups, variety of functional groups represented, sediment and nutrient sink and/or source, nutrient recycling, production and export of detritus, foraging area for shorebirds and/or wading birds, reduces coastal erosion, supports commercial fisheries
