You can find Giant Kelp washed ashore in this area, but this Giant Kelp was growing in Bodega Harbor. It also grows in Tomales Bay.
And I agree about the color -- the photo doesn't really do it justice, but I'm often struck by how it looks like Macrocystis is glowing from within. It's a striking seaweed, for many reasons!
How beautiful! It looks like a Japanese art print.
ReplyDeleteHad this washed in from the ocean or can the Giant Kelp actually grow in the harbor?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't I be these colors?
ReplyDeleteAny sugestions for how to become Giant Kelp/Ocean colored?
