How a seaweed harvesting collective sustains a village in Zanzibar

Second time making these seaweed & cheddar scones from #ArdBia. Taste great (like they'd protect your organs in a nuclear war), but the #dillisk is hard as hell to cut up, wrestling with a leather satchel. Our guests loved them. 😋

Believe it or not, all three of these fish are the same species… the bluehead wrasse. Wrasses are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they transition from female to male over the course of their lives. Each phase can look radically different from each other as evidenced here #coralcitycamera

Wow! Important to acknowledge these individuals…

Giant kelp (Laminariaceae: Macrocystis pyrifera) inhabits coastlines in some parts of the world. Although it looks like a plant, it's actually multicellular brown algae. It can grow up to 200 feet in length and has air sacs to keep it upright. Channel Islands National Park, California, 26 Oct 2013.

#PhycologyFriday, from one of my favourite spots, from the wave exposed shores of northern Norway - with a mosaic of Laminaria digitata and Alaria esculenta, with some Fucus serratus, Palmaria palmata and other macroalga in between.

A very happy Kathleen Drew-Baker day to all who celebrate www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk/science-engi... #sushi #motherofthesea #seaweed #nori

Love Laverbread! A very clever and nutrient dense food!!

A celebration of laverbread first held on April 14th 2022 is in its fourth year, with the national salute to seaweed receiving attention from WWF Cymru

Red seaweed fieldwork is underway for the Interface of Change project! 🌿✨ 🧪 Samples of red ribbon (Devaleraea mollis), red stiff ribbon (Palmaria hecatensis), and seawater are collected bimonthly March through June at two red seaweed harvest sites near Haines, AK. #phycologyfriday #fieldworkfriday

Wondering if anyone here would be willing & able to translate the either Russian or Ukrainian words on the back of these photos. These folks are my relatives, one was my father’s sister, and maybe his grandparents. Anyone in my family who might know for sure is long gone. I was born here in Canada.

For #FlyDay - the aptly named Peacock Fly (Callopistromyia annulipes) struttin their stuff! #becurious #inverts

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!

More sourdough discard crackers! Using a round pastry cutter for the shapes. Added ingredients this time: Wakame seaweed, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, fresh chives, parmesan and chilli. I used mostly strong white flour plus some spelt and rye. #sourdough #crackers #baking #wakame #seaweed

Returning home after an amazing field trip to Goa with Rui Seabra, Fraddry D’Souza and Lalat Hindu. We deployed temperature sensors from @electricbluecrl.bsky.social and conducted biodiversity surveys. @coastalwarming.bsky.social

#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.

When Nature does a photo roundup, it’s always worth a scroll. March’s edition is packed with mind-blowing REAL shots that capture the beauty, weirdness, and wonder of science 🧪—no AI needed. Case in point: this gorgeous shot of two courting crab spiders. Just one of many stunners. 💘

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 🐡

An album of over 200 pressed seaweeds collected by an anonymous Victorian collector. A transcribed poem is pasted as title page, it begins: "Oh call us not weeds, we are flowers of the sea." I saw this at UW-Madison Special Collections 🌊📚 CA 19285 #seaweed #herbarium #naturalhistory

Dead man’s fingers & live man’s fingers. This seaweed is rad because it is “coenocytic;” the entire individual is one, single, multinucleate cell. #Codium #Seaweed #MarineLife 🦑🌊

"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."
