The research aims to analyse the antioxidant activity of Halimeda Opuntia. This research is an experimental laboratory with testing the ethanol extract of the Halimeda algae with the DPPH method [1,1-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil] to analyse antioxidant activity by using Spectrophotometer. The research shows the antioxidant levels of Halimeda Opuntia algae in the waters of Lembeh Strait has antioxidant activity and the higher the concentration higher also the antioxidant levels are produced. The highest antioxidant levels are found in the Halimeda opuntia with a concentration of 100mg/L.
