  abstract = {{T}he association of epifaunal communities with marine macroalgae has not yet been studied on the {C}ape {V}erde {P}eninsula ({D}akar, {S}enegal). {M}acroalgae were collected at sea during the warm season ({J}uly) from stations around the {C}ape {V}erde {P}eninsula to investigate their association with epifaunal organisms. {A} predominance of amphipods was noted across the entire epifaunal community. {T}he abundance of this order was higher on the macroalgae {C}orallina officinalis. {T}he highest epifaunal density was observed on the genus {U}lva sp. {A} significant relationship was observed between the diversity and abundance of epifaunal communities and macroalgal species. {H}owever, there was no significant relationship between the biomass of the macroalgae and the biomass of the epifauna. {T}he methodology used in this study could be replicated on a larger spatial and temporal scale. {T}his would provide deeper insights into the communities hosted by macroalgae within the context of the growing blue economy, encouraging future exploitation of macroalgae and addressing biodiversity loss.{K}eywords: {E}pifauna, {M}acroalgae, {D}akar, {S}enegal.},
