These green algae are usually growing where fresh water enters the sea and are very slippery.

Diese grünen Algen wachsen normalerweise, wo Süßwasser ins Meer fließt, und sind sehr schlüpfrig.

In Zanzibar the second major business is the cultivation of algae.

Green algae, members of the division Chlorophyta, comprise between 9,000 and 12,000 species. Like plants, green algae contain two forms of chlorophyll, which they use to capture light energy to fuel the manufacture of sugars, but unlike plants they are primarily aquatic (Canon EOS 700D).

Fleswick Bay, Cumbria. These red sandstone cliffs between St. Bees and Whitehaven are amazing. You can see the layers all along the cliffs, there are small caves along the bottom, which due to the tide today I couldn't access, and the algae on the sandstone is very colourful.

This set of images is my first set of images in 2021. In fact, this trip was my first trip in the COVID-19 pandemic, as the situation has started to ease over here.

This sambhar deer had an egret on it's back, and was eating the red algae in the water!

Or algae?

Algae are a diverse group of organisms that occur in various shapes and sizes and have different ecological roles. Thousands of species of algae occur world-wide in both fresh and marine waters. Many species of freshwater algae float in the water, but others are attached to submerged rocks or aquatic plants. Most freshwater species are inconspicuous and do not create problems for humans. There are only a dozen or so, so-called "bad actors" that are considered problem-causing algae.

Algae typically serve as an important and welcome part of a lake or pond ecosystem. They form the base of the food chain and are a vital component of lakes. Algae provide a source of food, energy, and shelter for zooplankton (tiny water animals), fish, and other lake organisms. They can play a crucial role in the ability of a ecosystem to absorb nutrients and heavy metals.

#4523 - 2020 Day 140: So I took my kayak off the fence to clean it. It needed cleaning. It gave me an interesting image. Now I need to use the kayak ... hmmm!

Ventured out again this morning, Really strange and slightly apprehensive after being out of the UK due to Corona Virus for 4 months. This looked an interesting abstract in the marina at Sovereign Harbour which is just outside of Eastbourne. Decided on a B&W conversion.

Is "Meihua algae" that not only flourish in the clear stream

But it is quite beautiful

The sun was setting in the marsh and things were very quiet. There were a few birds but everything too distant for a shot. When I spotted the Yellowlegs I took a shot because I liked the old tree trunk and the colors of the water and algae.

Somewhat weird, but simply blue-green algae that has bloomed in the river Thames, seen here in the shadow of a boat.

I love shooting macro as wide open as I can so that only a sliver of the subject is in focus. While exploring in my backyard, I spied my fence line in the shade with a hint of sun illuminating the algae growing on the fence. I thought a close up look at the algae might make for an interesting "What is That?" composition.

This is part of a shallow pond at the edge of a gravel bar at the margin (shore) of the Bow River in central Calgary, Alberta, western Canada. In some spots (e.g., at left) there are clumps of linear filaments of algae.
