Abstract

As a general conclusion, under the current environmental conditions, in the southern sector of the Romanian shore, a more diverse macroalgal flora develops comparing with the northern part. In the mediolittoral area dominates the green algae belt, composed of opportunistic species: genera Ulva and Cladophora during warm season, respectively Urospora and Ulothrix during the cold period.
