PIC_1269 - Bull kelp - Nereocystis luetkeana
PIC_1272 - Bull kelp - Nereocystis luetkeana
PIC_1523 - This is blue branching seaweed. It is not a great shot due to backscatter but shows the "cystocarps" (raised bumps). In the complicated reproduction of red algae, these structures are reproductive bodies that form after fertilization and contain carpospores that lead to the formation of the spore producing version of this seaweed (alternation of generations). Likely this is as clear as mud!
