Marine Algae of the Greek West Coast

Abstract
The marine flora in the midittoral and upper infralittoral zones of the Greek west coast was studied. About 175 spp. were noticed in the 11 localities selected for study: 33 green algae, 36 brown algae, 101 red algae, 2 blue-green algae and 3 marine phanerogams. The ratio R/P [Rhodophyceae to Phaeophyceae] = 2.86 indicates a more boreal than subtropical type of vegetation.
