Best Answer

Algae in the marine environments are distributed ecologically as , Plankton (Phytoplankton ), Benthos ( Seaweeds ) or Endo-zoic ( Zooxanthellae ) .

Egypt has a long coastal area on the Red Sea as well as its coasts on the Mediterranean . While there are Coral reef and Mangrove ecosystems and no coastal lakes and Estuaries in the former ,the Med. coasts enclose 5 major coastal lakes, but no coral reefs nor Mangrove swamps .The seaweed communities varies qualitatively and quantitatively as well.

Seaweeds in the Red Sea has an Indo-pacific origin while in the Mediterranean. is of Atlantico-Carribian origin .

The Suez Canal recently contribute to the migration of seaweeds between the two different Floras .
