This dataset contains a list of epiphytic macroalgae species and their percentage of coverage on the penumatophores of the mangroves in Gazi Bay, Kenya, sampled during August-September 1989. Also the particle size distribution data from the different transects is noted. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: De Schryver, T. (1990).
