With various shades of green, algae could be associated with "dirty water". But this is natural and beneficial, as it removes CO2 from the water and atmosphere, returning oxygen for humans and animals to breathe.

So on that list of things I never imagined I would do until I got into gardening: Rinsing the algae and seaweed we scooped from Waiakauhi Pond during yesterday's adventuring, beachcombing and foraging. Once it's rinsed of the sea salt, I dry it and use as an additive to my compost tumbler. The plants love it, and it's far less stinky than making fish emulsion.
The green algae is healthy, but the red algae in the rear is toxic. El Nino has caused the Pacific Ocean water to be too warm in Bodega Bay and elsewhere in California this year. Hot weather causes the algae to bloom.

these are the crustose holdfasts that attach the branching coralline algae seen in the next picture to the rock.
If you look at the image in the largest size you can see branching algae starting to form on top of the crustose type algae
