Short walk on Seven Mile Beach this afternoon. Lots of #seaweeds and other sea creatures. Anyone with proper names for these? I know bull kelp and the sea squirts.
Young bull kelp with red nori. New blog post: https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2023/04/all-dressed-in-red.html

A friend brought home some Dead Man’s Fingers seaweed from the beach today so I looked up recipes. Here is Dead Mans Fingers Salad and I would make it again. Got the recipe from Eat the Weeds https://www.eattheweeds.com/codiums-edible-around-the-world-2/ #seaweeds #foraging

This week #BEFScale researcher @tom_fairchild and Masters student Josh have been developing tools to map the abundance of diff #species of canopy-forming brown #seaweeds using our #multispectral #drone! We can see diffs between #fucus, #ascophyllum and #kelp spp! #science #coasts

Lots of beautiful #MarinePlants #paintings in their little gallery. I loved the kelp themed art window panel coverings too.

Working in a #tropicalisation hotspot (Tosa Bay Japan) we show that temperate #seaweeds are NOT more palatable than tropical taxa. Overgrazing of #kelp here is likely due to consumption during late summer/ autumn when ephemeral #Sargassum disappears https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24666-9

It's back to the #RockyIntertidal of #Washington's #SanJuanIslands this #MarineLifeMonday, this time to visit an odd #seaweed group. Coralline red #algae are distant relatives of plants, but they're named because they look like some types of #coral. In fact, this similarity is more than skin-deep. Just as coral animals often encase themselves in calcium #carbonate shells, these algae line their cell walls with the same #mineral, making them much more rigid than other #seaweeds.
