#seaweeds — Public Fediverse posts

A small brown kelp and green sea lettuce, as the tide goes out. New blog post: https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2026/04/weedy.html #VancouverIsland #Algae #Seaweeds #NaturePhotography

@Eka_FOOF_A @VoxOfGod I found #kombu & #nori - prized #Japanese #gourmet #seaweeds, at an isolated beach near #PortRenfrew 😃

Concern for Earth's one big #Ocean must include #algae - #seaweeds are under threat from #humanactivities even while being lauded as allies against #globalheating

Chameleon #shrimp can adapt camouflage to invasive #algae species https://phys.org/news/2025-01-chameleon-shrimp-camouflage-invasive-algae.html

Adaptation in the Anthropocene: How behavioural choice and colour change enables chameleon #prawns to camouflage on non-native #seaweeds https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2656.14217

"Depending on the algae they are in, they can turn red, green, brown or transparent... The new results also show that they can camouflage themselves in algae from other oceans with which they did not evolve together."

There was many types of #ClamShells & much #diversity of beautiful & edible #seaweeds washed up on highbanks, post windstorm.
There's over 100 different types of seaweeds found along the coasts of Vancouver Island. There's 6 types of clams found on beaches of the island.

"Currently, nutrient inputs seem to be creating just the right conditions for #seagrasses. But if nutrients continue to increase, there is a risk that the seagrasses will be outcompeted by #seaweeds and smothered... the future of this Maldivian success story may therefore largely lie in our hands."

‼️Check out our new paper “Air-sea carbon dioxide equilibrium: Will it be possible to use seaweeds for carbon removal offsets?” Here, we explain why quantifying air-sea CO2 equilibrium and linking this process to seaweed carbon storage pools is the critical step needed to verify CDR by discrete seaweed beds and nearshore and open ocean aquaculture systems prior to their use in carbon trading.

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