This was a huge field of algae...probably 1200 square feet on the rocks at Depoe Bay. I was intrigued by the stark contrast of the colors against the rock.

...seen at Burrs Country Park, Bury, Lancs.
On the site of a former mill, a few minutes from the town centre, the River Irwell runs through the park, as does the East Lancashire Railway which has a station there.
This red alga glows very brightly when scratched with a needle. The damaged cells and possible undamaged cells nearby are releasing ROS. The ROS react with a fluorescent probe to glow green. Back to UAB in Antarctica website.
January 23, 2020 - This morning we were in Orne Harbour the weather was what I had always imagined it would be in Antarctica snow, sleet and rain. We have been spoiled with nice weather and this being our final day in Antarctica I enjoyed the precipitation.
After our Zodiac ride to the landing area we had a challenging climb to the top of Look-Out Point which is over 900 feet up an icy switchback trail. Near the top we had to haul ourselves up using the ropes which were set up for the last 50 feet or so of the climb.
The ship had trekking poles for those who didn't pack them however each person only got one pole. I decided not to bring my camera bag and my SLR camera. I just used my cellphone to document this AWESOME experience!
We were greeted by Chinstrap Penguins at the top of the climb and we got to see the penguin highways which I had heard about but hadn't seen up until this point in the trip. It was extremely windy at the peak where we took a Popsicle Toes group photo for those who climbed and views of Orne Harbour were incredible from the top.
For those who weren't up for the hike they had the option of doing a Zodiac Tour of the bay.
Wildlife seen: Chinstrap Penguins and Brown Skua. We also saw: Antarctica Hairgrass and Snow Algae which sometimes has a pink or green hue.

Spirogyra is a filamentous charophyte green algae, named for the spiral arrangement of the chloroplasts. Captured at 450x total magnification.
This brown alga releases very little ROS upon wounding compared with other algal species. The needle wound hardly glows. Back to UAB in Antarctica website.
Although they look like dark pearls or grapes, these glistening spheres are a type of algae, called bubble algae. Here, they are growing on rocks in our Pacific Reef.
Levi Lewis, graduate student at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, measures the density, diversity and height of algae in one of 40 experimental plots, which he has established across 500 meters of natural reef in the Kaanapali region of West Maui, Hawaii.
As part of his dissertation research, Lewis is testing the relative importance of different species (and combinations of species) of herbivorous sea urchins on a natural reef in Maui, Hawaii.
“Coral reefs persist where a balance is maintained between coral and algal growth. The ultimate goal of this particular project is to assess the similarities and differences in the effects of each species of urchin, as well as the consequences of species combinations, on the algal and coral communities,” said Lewis. “The results of such a quantification will tell whether mono-specific, or multi-specific communities of herbivorous urchins might result in the most effective control of algae, and facilitation of coral growth.”
According to Lewis, there is a rapid loss of coral reefs and around the world. It is important that we understand the factors that improve coral reef resistance to algal phase shifts.
Lewis has recently been awarded funding from the Mia Tegner Fellowship for his proposal entitled “Biophysical Determinants of Coral Reef Development and Growth”. Photo: Don McLeish
