An assessment of lead (Pb) absorption by macroalgae and seagrasses of the Red Sea, Jazan region, Suadi Arabia, were evaluated. Samples were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy ICP-AES (Method 3050B). Among all the species of macroalgae and seagrasses Sargassum spp. showed a high concentration of lead (Pb) and recorded the highest level (11.35 ppm) at a station near a sewage plant among the species in this study. In contrast, the least Pb-accumulated species was Cymodocea rotunda. Contamination of lead (Pb) for all macroalgae and seagrasses determined in this study were recorded in ascending order Cymodocea rotunda < Cladophora spp. < Halodule uninervis < Sargassum spp., collected close to the sewage plant. The results obtained from the study could be used for monitoring ecosystem lead pollution and the health of the shoreline.
