Concept URI	http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/eunishabitats/A3.23
Preferred label	Mediterranean and Pontic communities of infralittoral algae moderately exposed to wave action
Definition	This community is characterised by the presence of many photophilic algae covering hard bottoms in moderately exposed areas.
Notation	A3.23

Editorial note	There is a certain degree of duplication among some habitat classes in the EUNIS system coming either from BioMar or the Barcelona or HELCOM classifications. Therefore this means that all level 4 definitions (presently based on BioMar and Barcelona) should be checked, and given a new name if necessary. The biogeographic details are to be addressed in level 5 habitats.
