Abstract

The occurrence in Morocco of three species of red algae new to the Mediterranean Sea is reported: Polysiphonia havanensis sensu Børgesen (Ceramiales, Rhodomelaceae), Diplothamnion jolyi (Ceramiales, Wrangeliaceae), and Champia compressa (Rhodymeniales, Champiaceae). All were collected in Al-Hoceima National Park, a protected area of the Mediterranean coast of Morocco.
