After that I went to Lipoa beach to collect some seaweed.
I was honestly not expecting much. Only Ulva and Hypnea. But to my surprise I collected much more!
From about 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. all this seaweed was washed up on Lipoa beach.
I have to say though, that beach area really did not smell so good.
I'm not sure if it was the smell from the run-off after the rain, or if it was the Hypnea washed up on the beach. But it smelled terrible at some parts on the beach...
I heard Hypnea can smell really rank when it washes up on the beaches, so I believe it was that. There was a lot of Hypnea taking over most of the seaweed when I was there.
Some seaweeds I wasn't able to identify.
But I was able to identify the Ulva fasciata and reticulata, Colpomenia sinuosa, Hypnea musicfomis, Sargassum echinocarpum, Sargassum polyphyllum, Acanthophora spicifera, Gracilaria salicornia, Codium edule, Halimeda discoidea, Padina and Dictyota.
