Abstract

From December 1964 to April 1965 a survey of the marine algae of the Atlantic coast of Halifax County, Nova Scotia was carried out. Within this region 11 collecting stations were established, including sites from the exposed outer coast to the protected area of Halifax Harbour. One hundred and one species were identified: 24 from the Chlorophyceae, 36 from the Phaeophyceae, and 41 from the Rhodophyceae. Seventeen species are new records for Nova Scotia. During the winter months active vegetative and reproductive development was observed. These results have been compared with those obtained previously from this area as well as with results of similar studies made in Massachusetts and Newfoundland–Labrador.
