Abstract

An assessment of seaweed composition in intertidal zones of Telok Melano was done to obtain more information on seaweeds in this study site. Seaweed plays an important role in providing habitat, maintaining overall biodiversity structure and act as primary producers in marine ecosystem. Seaweed samples were collected in 8 stations along the intertidal zones of the beach. Six genera namely Enteromorpha, Neomeris, Udotea, Laurencia, Gracilaria and Padina were identified based on their morphological characteristics. Based on the total number of the species, the Chlorophyta division has the highest percentage of composition compared to Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta divisions. The density and the frequency of species Neomeris annulata is the highest among the other five species with 81.11 indiv./m2 and 0.4849 respectively. The highest species diversity (H’ = 1.7802) was found in station 6 that comprised of rocky shore.
