The intertidal zonation of the marine algae along the coast of Nie Bay, a small inlet in the Sea of Kumano, was studied. The field work was carried out in the winter of 1965. As the results of the investigations, two communities were found. The Hizikia fusiforme-Eisenia bicyclis association was found along the exposed shore of the bay, and the Monostroma nitidum-Scytosiphon lomentaria association along the sheltered shore. The important factors with regard to the distribution of the algal communities are the size of the bay and the wave action.
