Discussion

Analysis shows diverse macroalgae species with significant medicinal properties, indicating rich marine potential.

Identified 12 macroalgae species in Cidatu Beach, with moderate species diversity reflected by H′ index of 2.169.
Ten species exhibited pharmacological value, including antibacterial and antiviral properties, highlighting their potential.
Environmental conditions were optimal for macroalgal growth, although light intensity was relatively low at 1,939 lux.
Research suggests further biochemical evaluations are needed to harness these macroalgae as sustainable medicinal sources.

Shobir et al. (2025) studied this question.
