Sargassum Stripe

Galveston Island. Texas

Sargassum is a type of seaweed, or brown algae, that spends its life on the ocean's surface and floats in large masses.
Unlike red tide and blue-green algae, sargassum isn't harmful.
In fact, it's an important fish habitat that provides food and refuge for fish, birds, crabs, shrimp and many other marine organisms.

It seems to provide life and shelter to many. It’s is really interesting how they almost seem mountain like ( like as seen from a plane). V

A lovely and interesting, this must have played a part in establishing life
on land millions of years ago.

I like how you've caught the sargassum going off into the distance along the beach...real feeling of space and emptiness despite the beach furniture at top right
