Hi Black, it will be a while before I am able to reply.

Note that a strap-like lichen on coastal rocks will nearly always be a Ramalina. The two common species in this habitat are R. siliquosa and R. subfarinacea. There ought to be photographs of both of these on my lichen site but I see I forgot to load them at the last update - will do so sometime later this month.

Alan
