Sea Foam
This is a natural process occurring in especially big seas, where plankton and other small sea organisms are literally pulverised against the rocks of the shoreline, resulting in a very fine protein suspension in the sea which coats the air-bubbles created by the waves to create a stiff froth, just the same way as egg protein coats air bubbles to make meringue, and beer protein coats air bubbles to produce a head of foam in a beer glass. from viv.id.au/blog/20070827.871/sea-foam/
These trees hold some leaves until summer, dropping leaves all winter. This marcescence discourages the feeding of large herbivores. We have lots of squirrels but no moose in the neighborhood. I referred to these as "neighbors" leaves when actually they are my leaves once they hit my property. Mulching creates free organic fertilizer. To all recipients of leaves from my 100' tulip poplar tree, your welcome.
Update, Jan 2021, The neighbor had his oak trees removed :( . www.flickr.com/photos/jmschneid/50837418713
I won't miss the leaves, I will miss the shade.

Very similar to the Red Seabream (P. major) of the northern pacific. This species occurs south of the tropics. The are slight differences in the bump of the head, otherwise almost identical.
They can be identified by pinkish body with blue spots on the upper part of the body. The bottom most parts of the caudal, anal and ventral fins are white, the rest of those fins are transparent.
