algologist
Studies aquatic plants
An algologist is a scientist who studies algae—the diverse group of photosynthetic organisms ranging from single-celled pond scum to giant kelp.
The field is algology, though phycology and phycologist are equally common alternatives.
The algologist collected samples from the tide pool.
