Marine macro algae occurring along the coastal line of Revupolavaram beach was investigated for a period of one year from May 2018 to April 2019. A total of 22 species were identified in three seasons during this investigation period. Chlorophyceae members were dominant throughout the year while Phaeophyceae algal members and some of the Rhodophyceae were reported during the winter season only. Maximum number of algal species was reported in the winter season. Biomass values were measured for all the species collected during the study period. Maximum biomass value was obtained for the species Gracilaria corticata and minimum value for Ectocarpus mitchellae.
