Bibliography: pages 143-160. / The objective of this thesis is to describe the composition and distributional variation of, and environmental factors influencing, the bottom canopy assemblages in a southern African kelp community at Cape Hangklip, Western Cape, South Africa. A detailed collection of intertidal and subtidal marine macroalgal species from the Cape Hangklip area, a site centrally located in the south coast/west coast overlap, yielded a list of 201 species (26 Chlorophyta, 24 Phaeophyta, 150 Rhodophyta). The list of taxa .included four new records for southern Africa (Aphanocladia cf. skottsbergii, Audouinella endophytica, Centroceras distichum and Grate/oupia doryphora), five undescribed species (Antithamnion sp., Colaconema sp.,, Erythrocladia sp., Erythrog/ossum sp. and Pterosiphonia sp.) and one rhodophyte of uncertain affinity (cf. Ceramiaceae indet.), probably representing a new genus in the Ceramiaceae.
