Description The present study deals with 21 seaweed species from the intertidal rocks at nine sampling stations
along Nochiyurani coast during six month period from January to June 2014. Among the different
species of seaweeds, the dominant species Gracilaria corticata in all the sampling stations indicated
it's adaptability to the surf zone. Acanthophora spicifera and Caulerpa scalpellifomis var. denticulata were the next two dominant species. The present study reveals that intertidal rocks
occurring along the entire coast of Nochiyurani offer suitable substratum for the luxuriant growth of
seaweeds. The lack of anthropogenic activity along this coast favours for the good growth of different
seaweeds.
