Eighty‐nine species of algae were recorded, five of which were previously unrecorded for New South Wales. Storms, seasonal variation and longer term changes all affected the abundance and distribution of the algal species growing along the transect and hence the floristic composition of the area. However both this (with twenty species) and the next collection in July, in which twentynine species were recorded, followed closely upon storms which denuded many rock surfaces in the transect area of their algae. The following algae were to be found at most stations throughout the transect (Table 2) : Cladophora repens, Enteromorpha intestinalis, Lobophora variegata, Sphacelaria tribuloides, Stypopodium zonale, Zonaria turneriana, Acrosorium uncinatum, Fosliella farinosa, Gelidium pusillum, Heterosiphonia australis, Laurencia brongniartii, Plocamium cartilagineum, Polysiphonia sp. ./cache/cord-022642-f784qdr5.txt ./txt/cord-022642-f784qdr5.txt
