An intertidal marine algal flora and community structure at Ulsan, east coast of Korea was investigated at two times June, 1998 and June, 2000 by a quadrat method along a transect line. As a result, marine algae were identified 29 species in 1998, and 25 species in 2000. The marine algal flora was classified as the mixed one based on the species composition. The dominant species were ULva pertusa in 1998 and Corallina pilulifera in 2000. The subdominant species Sargassum horneri, Corallina pilulifera in 1998 and Ulva pertusa, Enteromorpha linza in 2000. The vertical distribution pattern of intertidal marine algae was divided into three zones such as, Chaetomorpha moniligera (1998), Enteromorpha linza - Ulva pertusa, Corallina pilullfera - Sargassum thunbergu, S horneri (1998), S yezoense (2000) from upper to lower zones.
