Collections were made from various sites in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island for small green benthic marine algae, filamentous species associated with other plants, animals, wood, shells, or stones. Identifications were based on observations in situ and material isolated into culture. Twenty species, distributed in 14 genera, were identified; six are new records for eastern Canada and a seventh species is a new record for the Maritime provinces.
