Abstract: Gujarat state of India has a coastline of more than 1600 km. -Bhal- region is situated on south-west border of saurashtra, it covers partly of the Ahmedabad and half of Bhavnagar district of Gujarat state. Basically this area is famous for saline conditions, the region is flat as forehead devoid of stones or gravel. Major rivers like bhogavo, ghelo and kalubhar passes from this region. Due to these rivers the estuarine habitat and marshy habitat are found in -Bhal- region. Halophytes are dominant in marshy where as in coastal wetlands the species of grass from chenopodiaceae family found. Quantitative assessment of all the species growing in bhal region of Bhavnagar district are shown in this research. Phytosociological parameters of biodiversity (frequency, density, relative density and abundance) were calculated.
