Sargassum seaweed (Sargassum muticum) or Wire-weed is an invasive seaweed, originating in Japan that is now found all along our coastline. Believed to have been spread between oyster farms. The small round air bladders help it float upright in the water column - and spread along the coasts when fragmented during stormy weather.

Nostoc sometimes referred to as "Witches Butter) is a Cyanobacteria often found in shallow pools of water on the surface of the Burren limestone. When dry it shrinks into a dark crumbly form - but when wet it can plump out beautifully 😍
