Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intensity (<i>I</i><sub>PAR</sub>) measurements were carried out in a shallow waters section of Tolstiy cape, Sevastopol, the Crimean Peninsula, at a depth of 63 cm along the profile of Cystoseira crinita (Desf.) Bory canopy (canopy height 25-30 cm) at different solar elevation angles in sounding mode on August 27, 2019. During the entire study period the <i>C. crinita</i> thalli were in inclined state. The greater part of the plants mass [67.07% (SD = 9
