Dinoflagellates ranked second in terms of abundance (24%). The phytoplankton assemblage was dominated by Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) which accounted for 70% of the total phytoplankton. A total of 260 species belonging to 94 genera and 6 classes were recorded at both sites. The objective of this study was to quantify the health ecosystem of Zanzibar coastal waters as phytoplankton are good indicator in studying an ecosystem. Species composition, abundance and distribution of phytoplankton were studied in Zanzibar coastal waters for one year (May 2012 – May 2013) at two sites, Bawe and Chwaka Bay.
