Red Algae
Red Algae:
Coralline algae contribute to reef formation by cementing together calcium carbonate particles and providing substrate for coral larvae to settle on. They also play a role in stabilizing rocky substrates and providing food and habitat for marine organisms.
Common Name: Coralline Algae
Scientific Name: Corallinales Coralline algae are a diverse group of red algae found in both tropical and temperate marine environments. They have hard, calcified structures and are often pink, purple, or red in color.
Seaweed
Seaweed:
Rockweed provides habitat and food for various marine organisms, including small fish, invertebrates, and shorebirds. It also plays a role in shoreline stabilization and nutrient cycling.
Common Name: Rockweed
Scientific Name: Fucus vesiculosus
Rockweed is a type of brown seaweed commonly found in intertidal zones along rocky coastlines. It has a flattened, branched morphology and air bladders that help it stay buoyant.
Seagrass
Seagrass:
Seagrass beds serve as essential nursery areas for many commercially important fish and shellfish species. They stabilize sediments, improve water quality by filtering pollutants, and provide habitat and food for a variety of marine organisms.
Common Name: Eelgrass
Scientific Name: Zostera marina
Seagrasses are flowering plants that have adapted to live submerged in marine environments. Eelgrass forms extensive underwater meadows in shallow coastal waters. It has long, ribbon-like leaves and small flowers.
Kelp
Thanks!
Kelp:
Kelp forests provide critical habitat and food for numerous marine species, including fish, invertebrates, and marine mammals. They also play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling, helping to maintain oceanic ecosystems' health and stability.
Common Name: Giant Kelp
Scientific Name: Macrocystis pyrifera Kelp is a large brown algae that forms dense underwater forests in temperate and polar coastal oceans. It can grow incredibly fast, up to 2 feet per day, thanks to its ability to utilize sunlight for photosynthesis and nutrients from the water.
