Wet & Forget was applied to many surfaces in Mackinac Island including, wood roofs, stones, siding, and the oldest stone wall in Michigan. Most of these surfaces were covered with moss, mold, algae, and lichen.
Algae are a large and diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms, such as the giant kelps that grow to 215 feet in length. The US Algal Collection is represented by almost 300,000 accessioned and inventoried herbarium specimens. The largest and most complex marine forms are called seaweeds. They are photosynthetic, like plants, and "simple" because they lack the many distinct organs found in land plants.
Algae are found in the fossil record dating back to approximately 3 billion years in the Precambrian. They exhibit a wide range of reproductive strategies, from simple, asexual cell division to complex forms of sexual reproduction.

To see some of Kaitlyn’s work, visit her Flickr! Kaitlyn’s unique style contains a contemporary and nostalgic twist, sometimes portraying unidentified people doing everyday-life tasks and other photographs somewhat with this style. It is obviously under construction, however, because I’ve seen millions of her pieces that aren’t up yet, so I recommend you go view it, just a taste! ;D

Clatto Reservoir is split into two parts, with the smaller part being covered in algae. Despite there being a bit of a breeze blowing on the evening I was here, this part of the reservoir remains sheltered and possibly explains why there's so much algae growth here. Another thing worth mentioning is that clump of trees isn't an island, it is in-fact a peninsular.
Just to the right of this photo is a metal walkway that goes partially out into the water. When I first started coming here, you could freely walk on it and get a good view of the water but in recent years, some prick has put a caged area over the walkway to stop people getting on. It's easily bypassed and I go round it every time as a point of principle.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of algae and/or diatoms this could be? (It's from the northern part of Germany.)
Strange algae that's been in the refugium for a while. It started out pretty small. Seems to be a slow grower, it's maybe the size of a ping pong ball now.
Codium fragile
So pretty, but I think it is a pest species spreading around the world. Originally from Japan.
