In the first station, near the river or by the river, we have gathered few species only of
macroalgae under the phylum chlorophyta and phaeophyta. There were actually three species identified
in this station. Of these, two are under phaeophyta and the other is under chlorophyta. But what
dominated the coverage percentage is Ulva fasciata which is under chlorophyta with the coverage
percentage of 68.64% then followed by Padina SP with 10.13%, then lastly Gracilaria fastigiata having
only 0.75%.

In the last station, near the populated area, a total of 11 species were found at the said area and
only 8 of the total were identified and the other three were not. If we were to include the unidentified
macroalgae, the Brown branching or root like got the highest coverage percentage having the amount of
94.5% then followed by Ulva fasciata with 81.01% then followed by the others.
