The boundary

Image description:

This photo captures the rich diversity of macroalgae which bridge the gap between the intertidal and the subtidal in Wembury Bay, Plymouth, UK. On these shores, an education centre for children receives many excited visitors, if they don a mask and venture below the rockpools, this is what they will find. Himanthalia elongata licks the surface of the shore where Fucus serratus gently sways with the waves, continue further and Laminaria digitata forests denominate together with a wonderful diversity of red macroalgae. The photo captures native macroalgae besides the non-native individual Sargassum muticum, introduced to the UK in 1973.
