Brown algae are a type of algae that belongs to the Phaeophycean family.
Brown algae are made up of rough 1500 species that vary widely in size and appearance.

They are mostly seen in coastal areas.
Habitat of Brown algae:
The majority of brown algae are found in maritime habitats, where they provide both food and potential habitat.
All freshwater brown algae species are benthic, populating a wide range of streams, rivers, and lake littoral zones.
In mildly brackish conditions, a few species can be found.
