BackgroundThe seaweed flora of Pico Island (central group of the Azores archipelago) has attracted interest of researchers on past occasions. Despite this, the macroalgal flora of the island cannot be considered well-known as published information reflects only occasional collections. To overcome this, a thorough investigation encompassing collections and presence data recording was undertaken. Research under the Campaigns “AÇORES/89”, “PICO/91”, “PICOBEL/2007” and “LAUMACAT/2011” covered a relatively large area (approximately 39 km 2 ) around the island, encompassing the littoral and sublittoral levels down to about 40 m around the Island.This paper improves the knowledge of the Azorean macroalgal flora at local and regional scales by listing taxonomic records and providing information on the ecology and occurrence of each species present on the Island’s littoral.New informationA total of 4043 specimens (including taxa identified only to genus level) belonging to 303 taxa of macroalgae are registered, comprising 197   Rhodophyta  , 53   Chlorophyta   and 53   Ochrophyta   (  Phaeophyceae  ). From these, 225 were identified to species level (142   Rhodophyta  , 41   Chlorophyta   and 42   Ochrophyta  ), encompassing 110 new records for the island (69   Rhodophyta  , 20   Chlorophyta   and 21   Ochrophyta  ), three Macaronesian endemisms (   Botryocladia   macaronesica    Afonso-Carillo, Sobrino, Tittley &amp; Neto;    Laurencia   viridis    Gil-Rodríguez &amp; Haroun;    Codium   elisabethiae    O. C. Schmidt), 14 introduced and 25 species with an uncertain status.
