Myriogramme kylinii

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Myriogramme kylinii faces severe threats from coastal development and marine pollution in its restricted range along the Chinese coast. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to water quality degradation from industrial discharge and urban runoff. Climate change-induced sea level rise and ocean acidification further threaten the delicate marine ecosystems this red algae depends upon.

Threat summary
