Abstract

The marine benthic flora of the Philippines is among the richest in the Indo-West Pacific region. However, some regions like the eastern Caraga in the northeastern section of Mindanao Island are poorly known in terms of their seaweed diversity. A survey of the published literature was conducted to compile baseline information. This report on the diversity of the marine green algae recorded a total of 62 species and one form in 25 genera, 13 families, and four orders. Many species have ecological and economic importance such as contributors to reef building, sources of valuable chemicals and food for humans. The enumeration of the marine green algae as well as those of other seaweed groups is useful for better resource management and conservation, guided extraction and sound policy formulation towards greater protection of coastal habitats and aquatic resources therein.
