The Costa das Algas Environmental Protection Area (EPA) and the Santa Cruz Wildlife Refuge (WR), located in the Espírito Santo Continental Shelf, Brazil, are outstanding marine protected areas due to their high biodiversity, particularly of macroalgae. Together, these two relatively small protected areas (1,150 and 177 km, respectively) harbour about a quarter of all macroalgal species recorded in Brazil.The checklist presented herein updates the algal flora of these two protected areas with data obtained until 2019. Two hundred and sixty-five macroalgal taxa were recorded, most of which with vouchers. Checklists based on the collections of each protected area were published on: "Catálogo de Plantas das Unidades de Conservação do Brasil" (https://catalogo-ucs-brasil.jbrj.gov.br/).
Besides specimens collected between 2018 and 2019, the algal flora presented herein includes previous records from different Brazilian herbaria (e.g., SP, SPF, ALCB). Herbaria records may include species that do not occur in intertidal reefs (e.g., ). Overall, 249 macroalgal taxa and one marine angiosperm were recorded in the Costa das Algas EPA (87 new records) and 136 macroalgal taxa and one marine angiosperm in the Santa Cruz WR (46 new records). All taxa are native to Brazil and nine are endemic to Brazil. Our results provide a taxonomic foundation to support management, long-term monitoring and conservation in these protected areas.
位于巴西圣埃斯皮里图大陆架的阿尔加斯海岸环境保护区（EPA）和圣克鲁斯野生动物保护区（WR），因其丰富的生物多样性，尤其是大型藻类的多样性，而成为杰出的海洋保护区。这两个相对较小的保护区（分别为1150平方公里和177平方公里）共拥有巴西记录的所有大型藻类物种的约四分之一。本文提供的清单根据截至2019年获得的数据更新了这两个保护区的藻类植物区系。记录了265个大型藻类分类单元，其中大多数都有凭证。基于每个保护区收集的清单发表在：《巴西保护单位植物目录》（https://catalogo-ucs-brasil.jbrj.gov.br/）上。
除了2018年至该2019年间收集的标本外，本文呈现的藻类植物区系还包括来自巴西不同植物标本馆（如SP、SPF、ALCB）的先前记录。植物标本馆记录可能包括潮间带珊瑚礁中不存在的物种（例如 ）。总体而言，在阿尔加斯海岸EPA记录了249个大型藻类分类单元和一种海洋被子植物（87个新记录），在圣克鲁斯WR记录了136个大型藻类分类单元和一种海洋被子植物（46个新记录）。所有分类单元均原产于巴西，其中9种为巴西特有。我们的结果为这些保护区的管理、长期监测和保护提供了分类学基础。
