Detail investigations of macrophytobenthos in Vormsi Island waters (Hullo Bay, Lake Prestviik, a creek, and Suur Spring) have not been made for a long time.We found that in Hullo Bay the dominant species were Cladophora glomerata, Fucus vesiculosus, and Rhizoclonium riparium.There were some species which were found both in the sea and the creek.These were Potamogeton perfoliatus, Myriophyllum spicatum, and Clado- phora glomerata.Littorella uniflora was previously discovered in Estonia only once, in 1935, on Saaremaa Island.The bottom of Lake Prestviik is covered by Chara polyachanta, and no other species were recognized there.The Suur Spring is inhabited mainly by Rhizoclonium hieroglyphicum with wet weight more than 3000 g/m2.
