This document contains an annotated list of benthic algae occurring in Biscayne Bay. The list includes the locations where the species were found. The paper also discusses future research needs. Author Abstract: The many benthic algal habitats in Biscayne Bay support more than 331 species representing a tropical shallow water year around flora and a small group of winter-spring species. There are 46% red algae, 30% greens, 14% browns and 11% bluegreens. All bluegreen species known to exist in world oceans (sensu Drouet) are present in the Bay. An annotated list of the species is given.
