Floristic finds in the coastal marine water area of the nature reserve “Cape Martyan” (Crimea, Black Sea)

Abstract

Based on the samples of 2020 and 2023, three new species of marine macroalgae are indicated for the flora of the territorial-aquatic nature reserve “Cape Martyan,” located on the Southern Coast of Crimea (SCC): Punctaria latifolia Grev., Compsothamnion gracillimum De Toni, and Dasya hutchinsiae Harv. (the last one is recorded for the Black Sea hydrobotanical area “SCC” for the first time). The list of macrophytes of the reserve now includes 163 species, or 37% of the total number of taxa known for the Black Sea. The obtained results expand the understanding of the level of natural phytodiversity of the reserve, hydrobotanical area, and the region as a whole.
