HOME

In upper intertidal ‘green pools’ which are so high that even the periwinkles avoid them; which probably is why the Ulva species ( the ‘green’ of ‘green pools’) hang out here – i.e., they get eaten in the ‘red pools’

Photosynthesis

The brown is a diatom which becomes quite ‘bushy’ in its Lilliputian way

Thriving even in February

Ulva growing fast too

We are presently publishing this small ulva as a new species – it has both a distinct ontogeny and ‘chemistry’ from the more common summer form that hangs out here (Ulva (formerly Enteromorpha) intestinals)

In the above image the p is probably this same species growing outside a tide pool
