Abstract

Kassari Bay is of a specific character, a relatively isolated, sheltered and shallow sea area where the sediment mainly consists of clay and sandy clay. The main communities are the association of the loose-lying red algae Furcellaria fastigiata and Phyllophora brodiaei f. angustissima and the association Zosteretum marinae and its variant which is rich in red algae. Areas with dense vegetation alternate with areas almost without vegetation, or where only single tufts of red algae or some charophytes and phanerogames are found. The floristic list contains 24 taxa, 5 of them are phanerogames. Sphacelaria radicans is a new taxon for the Estonian flora.
