Abstract

In the marine environment, seaweeds are a rich natural resource. Marine algae deliver several external and internal ecological resources. The distribution of marine algal abundances was among the most studied natural occurrences, and reliable variations are regularly seen in aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed to explore a diverse group of seaweeds observed from the Shivrajpur coast, Gujarat, from December 2021. The study identified 70 species across 36 genera and 24 families. Among these, eighteen species belong to Chlorophyta, twenty-two from Phaeophyta and thirty from Rhodophyta were recorded. Compared to brown and green algae, red algae are the most prominent. But based on abundance, brown algae are dominant. Throughout the study, some economically important seaweeds are also found. Three significant orders, Fucales, Dictyotaleas, and Ceramiales, are recorded at this coastal site. In addition, many species were recorded from the Dictyotaceae and Sargassaceae families. This research outline provides the diverse seaweed resources available in the chosen location, which will be utilized in future ecological studies.
