And you Like seaweed

Rivers washed sediment into the seas, until the organic remains of the algae were buried.

The Sargasso Sea is also a wondrous place for the aggregation of these unique species that have developed to mimic the sargassum habitat.

These are things that are getting into our food chain because of these blooms.

And the fish have grazed the algae, so the turf of algae is a little lower.

Here's some algae in the foreground ...

The things on the ground are algae.

So this is the infamous Caulerpa taxifolia, the so called killer algae.

And that's because the urchins eat kelp.

The Sargasso Sea, for example, is not a sea bounded by coastlines, but it is bounded by oceanic currents that contain and envelope this wealth of sargassum that grows and aggregates there.

And the reason was because of overfishing, and the fact that a last common grazer, a sea urchin, died.

So that light was made by a bioluminescent dinoflagellate, a single celled alga.

And within a few months after that sea urchin dying, the seaweed started to grow.

Zoning of algae beds in the Galápogos Islands

And the algae give the corals sugar, and the corals give the algae nutrients and protection.

There's no coral, algae growing on it, and the water's pea soup.

This is from the coast of Brittany, which is being enveloped in this green, algal slime.

But the Sargasso Sea, the same way it aggregates sargassum weed, actually is pulling in the plastic from throughout the region.

So why would a single celled alga need to be able to produce light?

This one disguises itself as floating algae.

But there has just been a study that was released in February that showed there are 200,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometer now floating in the surface of the Sargasso Sea, and that is affecting the habitat for the many species in their juvenile stages who come to the Sargasso Sea for its protection and its food.

After a few years, between five and seven years, fish come back, they eat the urchins, and then the algae grow again.

The first is that we have fossils of algae from 3.5 billion years ago.

This is just a simple list of some of the types of poisons that come out of these harmful algal blooms shellfish poisoning,fish ciguatera, diarrheic shellfish poisoning you don't want to know about that neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Third claim unit Increased mortality Saudi Arabia seeks compensation in the amount of USD 5,549,312,879 for increased mortality in Saudi Arabia due to airborne particulate matter from the oil well fires in Kuwait, from disturbance of desert areas by military activities and from the large number of diesel powered military vehicles used for military operations.

Just an amazing animal, it can change color and texture to match the surroundings. Watch him blend right into this algae.

Oil s monopoly over transportation can in part be destroyed by electrification (via plug in hybrid electric vehicles, for example), and also by second generation biofuels, such as butanol from cellulosic feedstocks, and by algae and waste based biofuels.

As soon as they get under those rafts of kelp, the exfoliating cleaner fish come.

I floated through the world of plankton, searching for tiny algae to eat.

Spinning down to someplace a little bit cooler than here right now the Ross Sea in the Southern Ocean.

Reporters understand that adding alginate, humic acid and amino acid nutrient carriers of natural or plant sources into the production process of urea would change modify and enhance the benefit of traditional urea. The alginate urea, zinc fulvate urea and aminoglutanic acid urea nitrogen utilization rate was 5 to 10 percentage points higher than general urea.

The new nitrogen can promote the growth of algae and other organisms.

This is my baseline This is the Mediterranean coast with no fish, bare rock and lots of sea urchins that like to eat the algae.

But when the fish came back and began predating and controlling the urchin population, low and behold, kelp forests emerged in shallow water.

This is another version of that. This is a sea dragon, and the one on the bottom, the blue one, is a juvenile that has not yet swallowed the acid, has not yet taken in the brown green algae pond scum into its body to give it energy.

When it's all said and done, it's got to look like seaweed, said the owner.

Such productivity results from a self fertilizing process performed by a widely distributed marine organism, known as saw dust , that often blooms on the ocean s surface.

The coral reefs of the north coast of Jamaica have a few percent live coral cover and a lot of seaweed and slime.

Sargasso Sea's three million square miles of floating forest is being gathered up to feed cows.

According to the United States Marine Mammal Commission, 136 marine species have been reported in entanglement incidents in the wider United States area, including 6 species of sea turtles, 51 species of seabirds and 32 species of marine mammals (Marine Mammal Commission, 1996).

And under those kelps this is why the Molas come there because it's spa time for the Molas there.

Mr. MANINI (Institution for the Use of Micro Alga Spirulina against Malnutrition) said that the Institution for the Use of Micro Alga Spirulina against Malnutrition, which fully supported the objectives of the United Nations system and sought to promote intergovernmental cooperation, was engaged in the development of Spirulina as an emergency foodstuff and a product with global market potential that could help to strengthen the industrial, fishing and nutrition sectors.

Most of the biomass is low on the food chain, the herbivores, the parrotfish, the surgeonfish that eat the algae.

These are diatoms, single celled phytoplankton with skeletons of silicon ...

It was called Prototaxites.
