Ecklonia radiata, commonly known as spiny kelp or leather kelp, is a species of kelp found in the Canary Islands, the Cape Verde Islands, Madagascar , Mauritania, Senegal, South Africa , Oman, southern Australia , Lord Howe Island, and New Zealand.[3][4]

Ecklonia radiata grows in kelp beds on reefs and where sheltered can form dense 'forests'.[5][4] It can be found in the low intertidal zone to depths of approximately 25 metres (82 ft) and rarely exceeds a body length of 1 metre (3 ft 3 in).[4]
