British Phycological Society

[1] The society was founded in 1952, following a meeting of phycologists the previous year at University College, Bangor in North Wales.These were Kathleen Drew-Baker, Elsie M. Burrows, Sheila Lodge, Elsie Conway, Margaret Trevena Martin, Mary Parke, Helen Blackler, Mr. F. T. Walker, and Harry Powell.[10] Máirin de Valéra from University College, Galway was also at the meeting in Bangor and was involved in the foundation of the new society.[10] From the beginning, the Society planned to eventually produce a comprehensive list of the British marine algal flora (also called seaweed).[9] To help with this, the Society's members planned structured records of the algal distributions as well as to add reference specimens to a national herbarium collection.
