| Research Abstract |
Availability of coenocytic green algae (CGAs) as an indicator of coastal environment, which has been degraded significantly, was examined by social and ecological survey along the Kuroshio current region of Japan, Taiwan and Philippines as well as culture experiments and bio-geographical studies in laboratory. Caulerpa spp. were commonly growing throughout the study areas, Valonia spp. were found to be suitable for culture experiments, and both were easily detectable in the natural populations. These observations suggested that they are potentially useful as an environmental indicator. In the case study in Green Island of Taiwan, a poor vegetation of the CGAs was found to coincide with a localized degradation of coastal environment caused by the lack of certain social infrastructures.
