Abstract :
Mangroves are a multifunctional and unique
component of marine ecosystem as it provide nursery to
marine animal, protection from high waves, floods,
cyclone, as store blue carbon. Mangrove forest support
diversified macroalgae in their community. Typically
mangrove occurs near shoreline, in intertidal zone of coast,
deltas, estuaries, lagoons and muddy flats. This study
conducted to assess the habitat characteristics of mangrove
macroalgae at Gopnath coast Bhavnagar District, Gujarat,
India. Coast of Gopnath contains 1 true mangrove species
Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. One group of
macroalgae were recorded to be growing on mangrove
root and mangrove field, total 4 species of green algae
recorded during this study.
