Ecklonia radiata 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 25m.[4]
