A nicely colored algae culture caught my eye in the experimental section of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. I had to be in San Pedro on a non-related matter the other day and I had not been at the aquarium in a few years. So I decided to stop and I was happy to notice that they expanded their facilities and have two whole sections where biologists work with marine plants and animals, one of them dedicated to kid.

weather was perfect for shooting after days of raining, the sun finally came out and every was green.

Some of the earliest Eukaryotic organisms ever uncovered, though it is still far younger in age than fossil discoveries of Archeal cyanobacteria.

Turns out they're not making the car fuel of the future, more the super-food of the future.
The algae are excellent for making the popular Omega3 oils and that's great cause then you don't have to kill off fish to make the oils.
They had open house during Christmas but I missed that, too bad.
Here's a short video about them on a site called Mashable:

A rare and unusual specimen of algae preserved in clear chalcedony. Originally it would have been growing in silica-rich run-off from geothermal hot springs. Kaueranga Valley, Thames

Large Riff Raff rocks at Lexington,Michigan Harbor. It was a rainy Summer. This boulder got some lake waves to splash, thus causing growth of algae.
I scooped up some algae from a neighbors exposed stream. It looks
like a marine blue/green variety. I am going to try and send it off
for testing. I am curious about oil content and the species type. If
our local algae has 30% or more lipids it would be a good choice for
diesel oil alternatives. Otherwise I'll just buy some B. Braunii or
D. Salina strains which have been used more than other algae strains
for fuel production research.
Researchers at Bowling Green State University worked with NexSens Technology to deploy a new monitoring buoy in Sandusky Bay. Algal blooms in Lake Erie are a persistent problem, with the main concern being clean drinking water. This buoy is equipped with sensors to measure algae and provide advanced warning to managers at the Sandusky Big Island Water Works Intake. Here, Doug from NexSens shows researchers how to view live data from the WQData LIVE web datacenter.
