| Abstract;The algal floras and coastal environment at 17 stations in Kata Bay were investigated from May to June, 1997. The number of species collected was 80 comprising 10 species of Chlorophyceae, 33 species of Phaeophyceae, 37 species of Rhodophyceae. Considering the algal floras and their distribution, Kata Bay was divided into 3 areas, i.e. inner parts of the bay, central part of the bay and open sea areas. In the inner parts of the bay, there were only a few algal species, and "isoyake" areas were found in several stations. The central part of the bay was chracterized by the developed Sargassum zone. S. yamamotoi and S. piluliform were the dominant species in this zone. The open sea areas were dominated by small erect algae. These characteristics of algal flora and their distribution in Kata Bay are attributed to waves, water motion, turbid water caused by reclamation works and self-pollution by fish culture.
