Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has high potential in biodiversity, especially in the marine areas. As the primary producer of marine ecosystems, macroalgae provide food for many species. Macroalgae have very varied structures but are generally divided into three groups based on their color of thallus i.e. Chlorophyceae, Ochrophyceae, and Rhodophyceae. This research aims to study the diversity of macroalgae in the intertidal zone of Gili Ketapang Beach, Probolinggo, Jawa Timur. This study was conducted on May, 22 2021 during low tide. Samples were collected using a purposive random sampling method. Data analysis was performed by identifying and classification of samples of macroalgae that were found. The result showed that macroalgae were found five species consisting two species of Ochrophyta, two species of Rhodophyta, and one species of Chlorophyta. The substrate of Gili Ketapang Beach is more suitable for Rhodophyta and Ochrophyta growth.
