For #PhycologyFriday, here’s a big pebbly mudflat of rockweed (Fucus distichus) mixed with what I believe is yet-to-bud Glasswort (Salicornia) that I saw this week visiting Ma’amtagila territory in northern Vancouver Island. Both are common species, but this seemed like an unusual habitat/growth!

#PhycologyFriday, look at my beautiful dried Ascophyllum nodosum with the epiphytic Vertebrata lanosa. Not my work, but now hanging in my office. I can mention that Vertebrata lanosa is sold for thousands of kroner per kg.

Seaweed and other stuff from the beach - if anyone knows which species of Laver (Porphyra) it is, I’d like to know as I can’t tell the difference! Will be either Winter or Purple, I think. It was on rocks just below high tide line. Added some photos if that helps. Hartlepool, NEEngland. #nature 🐡

"The researchers found that the presence of microplastics ... can reduce photosynthesis by as much as 7 to 12 percent, on average. That could range from 6 to 18 percent in terrestrial crops, 2 to 12 percent in marine plants such as seaweed and 4 to 14 percent in freshwater algae."

Enjoyed this article….but that’s not Rockweed. ☹️Looks a bit like Sargassum, but definitely not Ascophyllum….or Chondrus 😉
