The marine algae of the Content Keys, Monroe County, Florida, were studied in the field and laboratory for 2 1/2 years. Environmental and floristic data are presented in a descriptive account of the zonation, seasonality, and periodicity of the littoral and sublittoral algae. The preliminary checklist comprises 258 taxa: 79 Chlorophyta, 29 Phaeophyta, and 150 Rhodophyta. Four taxa of Chlorophyta and 10 of Rhodophyta are new records for Florida coasts.
