Zusammenfassung:There is a gap in knowledge about the biodiversity of living foraminifera (protozoa) in Brazil, particularly in coastal environments. In Sepetiba Bay (SE Brazil), a coastal system highly impacted by anthropogenic activities, several previous studies have been carried out on foraminifera based on total (living + dead) assemblages and sub-fossil records. Thus, this study intends to analyze for the first time the species richness of living foraminifera (stained with Rose Bengal) in Sepetiba Bay. Based on the morphological characteristics, 214 living species were identified in 50 samples collected in Sepetiba Bay in May 2022. The number of living specimens was counted as 6548. Living foraminifera density was
