The study of the algal flora of the White Sea in July 2009 recorded for the first time the brown alga Tinocladia crassa (Chordariaceae, Ectocarpales) at Kasyan Island (Kandalaksha Bay). Observations of 2010-2014 confirmed and extended the species habitat. The new location expands the notion of distribution of the species, found earlier only in the Pacific.

Key words: Tinocladia crassa, Chordariaceae, the White Sea.
