We reevaluated species diversity of the brown alga  Lobophora  in Vietnam’s Con Co Marine Protected Area (MPA), where only one species had previously been reported. Integrating morphological, ecological, and molecular analyses, we redefined the genus diversity, identifying nine species including two new ones:  L. asiatica ,  L. boussoleae ,  L. lamourouxii ,  L. obscura 1,  L. pachyventera 3,  L. thailandensis ,  L. quangtriensis  sp. nov.,  L. vietnamensis  sp. nov., and  Lobophora  sp.1VNA.  Lobophora variegata , the sole species previously reported, was absent. This study expands the number of Vietnam’s documented  Lobophora  species to 11. This work reevaluated  Lobophora  diversity in Vietnam based on a small island, contributing valuable seaweed diversity reference data for Con Co MPA management. Notably, within the MPA,  Lobophora  species exhibited no coral-aggressiveness, potentially serving as a health indicator for coral reef communities.
