I don't know what else to call this. It's to keep storm surge water out of the Market House (in this case Hannah). Funny to think of utilizing water to keep out water.

Bladder wrack (Fucus vesiculosus L.) is a seaweed found on the coasts of the North Sea, the western Baltic Sea, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It was the original source of iodine, discovered in 1811, and was used extensively to treat goitre, a swelling of the thyroid gland related to iodine deficiency. In the 1860s, it was claimed that bladder wrack, as a thyroid stimulant, could counter obesity by increasing the metabolic rate and, since then, it has been featured in numerous weight-loss remedies.
Bladder wrack (sometimes spelled bladderwrack) is also known by the names black tang, rockweed, bladder Fucus, seawrack, sea oak, black tany, cut weed, and rock wrack.

oEthnobotany: Na’vi harvest succulent leaves, which have a salty taste, for use as food
•Behind the Scenes:
oFirst Appearance: Avatar
Bladder polyps (Na’vi name: rawp) are small, rounded plants that grow in clusters on the forest floor, resembling blue-tinged stones. The larger leaves store water and salt, and are grazed on by animals and harvested by the Na’vi. They have smaller brown leaves close to the ground are able to absorb high concentrations of ammonia, and can use animal waste as a form of nutrition. When leaves are removed, new ones grow quickly in their place.
Most other plants are unable to use manure as a direct food source; however, the bladder polyp is a halophyte, and can survive in very salty soils. The salt accumulating in the larger leaves absorb water through osmosis. They grow in a wide range of locations, and there are even patches of them up and at the top of Iknimaya, the "Stairway to Heaven."
The bladder polyp is eaten by the Na’vi for its juicy and salty taste, which is somewhat like a pickle.
Bladder Cicada - Cystosoma saundersii. I don't think this is a Green Grocer based on the spacing of the ocelli but any ID welcome. These guys start up their call on dusk and make noises for around an hour and then they shut down. I was lucky to catch one in the top of a bush (No ID) for a few photos and put it back where it was.
The Cicadas at Ballandean could call all day and you had to be careful walking under their tree as they piddle when disturbed.
