Seaweed Found on Oregon Coast, Help with I.D.-ing!

Found this seaweed on the Oregon Coast and I have no idea what it is called. So far I haven’t found it in any of my guidebooks. Help identifying would be appreciated!

Anyone know what this is?

I found it growing on a solid structural in a marina in the north east of England. Looks like a wrack species but really small?

just got a shipment of live seaweed, how do I store long term?

I just got a shipment of live seaweed varieties from Gulf of Maine. varieties include irish moss, dulse, bladderwack, mermaid hair, kelp etc.

it seems they've already washed them, and sent them wrapped tightly indivudal plastic bags.

i know i can always dry them, but i want to keep them as fresh as possible for now. how should i store them in the fridge? or how do i freeze them for the freezer? i want them to stay as nutritious as possible for consuming later.

any tips helps!

Buying sea vegetables in Canada versus Japan?

In Tokyo I can find dozens of different edible seaweeds (also mushrooms). In Vancouver, many fewer. Plus they seem to be are costlier in Canada. Or am I imagining this?

Small seaweed lab to measure bioremediation

Hiiii im currently in highschool and I want to conduct a lab project to measure what type of seaweed (or what amount of seaweed) has the most nutrient uptake or absorption under potential eutrophication level(?). So then I can conclude which type of seaweed is most suitable for bioremediation of excess nutrient levels/for aquaculture (or in other words absorbs the nutrients-phosphates and nitrates best). However, I am not sure if this would be easy to measure or conductible within high school labs? Cause I found that seaweeds can easily die if the lab is not controlled....

Buyable Gametophytes?

Hey all, new here but deep diving into the weeeds

Wanting to know if this is possible but I’m interested in locally growing some seaweed, possibly Undaria and wanted to know if anyone actually sells the Gametophytes or do I have to get sea water, and hope for the best?!

I know this may be too hard but interested to see if this is a thing 😎

Anyways, image is some Melbourne Undaria harvested by a local enthusiast named Julianne!

Edible Seaweeds in the northern Adriatic?

Hi everyone, I’m interested in doing some foraging for seaweed - I grew up in the UK and Ireland, being able to buy it at markets but now live in Istria, which is the most north westernly part of Croatia (across the adriatic from Venice - historically part of Venice/Veneto region).

I’m trying to figure out what types of edible seaweed might be around, but so far all I’ve found are references to the fact that Ulva lactuca and Chondracanthus teedei were historically consumed in the Veneto region, but when i looked up the latter I only found references to it in Sicily - which is quite far away from here.
