Abstract
Fourteen species of seagrass have been found on the northwest Australian coast, from 24°S to 12°S. These species are generally Indo-West Pacific species, similar to the seagrass assemblages of Papua New Guinea and the Torres Straits. Records of Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle and Thalassodendron ciliatum (Forssk.) den Hartog are the first published for the state of Western Australia. Descriptions of the habitat characteristics of the species are provided, as well as considerations of their biogeography and the possible influence of temperature as a factor controlling their distribution.
