This book by Dr. Gavino C. Trono, Jr. brings together essential information on the seaweed resources in the Philippines. Conceived as both a reference and a working guide, it was written to serve researchers, students, and coastal communities alike, keeping technical details clear and manageable for a broad range of readers.

The book offers detailed profiles of the major classes of marine macrobenthic algae – Chlorophyceae, Phaeophyceae, and Rhodophyceae – alongside representative species and a glossary of technical terms. A joint project of the Marine Environment and Resources Foundation, Inc. and the Department of Agriculture, the book reflects a broader effort to support the sustainable growth of the country’s seaweed industry.

Dr. Gavino C. Trono, Jr. is a Professor of Marine Science at the University of the Philippines. His research focuses on the taxonomy, biology, and culture of marine algae, and the management of economically important seaweed stocks.
