Dragon Kelp - Eualaria fistulosa by Alexander Semenov
Via Flickr:
Here is an incredible giant kelp, Eualaria fistulosa, also called 'Dragon kelp'. Up to 25 metres long, it attaches to large rocks with the holdfast (a root-like structure) and rises to the surface. The midrib has gas-filled chambers that hold the whole thing up in the water.

New Release: Kelp Forest Ecosystems Resource Collection
Kelp forests are an important ecosystem that support a variety of species and grow predominantly along the Eastern Pacific Coast, from Alaska and Canada to the waters of Baja, California. Kelp forests can be found in four of our national marine sanctuaries along the West Coast of the United States. This collection has compiled wide-ranging resources from lesson plans, webinars, web stories, virtual reality videos, and more.
You are invited to learn more about the importance of Kelp Forest Ecosystems, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s efforts to manage and conserve them, the species that call these forests home, and the threats kelp face.

A few wips from some blocky concept art made in ClipStudioPaint (with my new computer! Yey! My old one was on its last legs and this one makes me so happy :D), feeling out/developing a new comic project, that I hope to come out after “Honor to Us” finishes...what do you think? :D
Also! two-legged/tailed mermaids isn’t as commonly seen, but there’s historical precedent! There are some GORGEOUS old paintings out there...

🚨 Invasive species alert 🚨
This large, golden-brown kelp species, Undaria, is native to Japan, Korea, and China. So, how did it end up in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary? Undaria frequently catches a ride around the world on boat hulls or in ballast water. Upon arrival to a new area, if weather conditions are right, it can cling to new boat hulls, clog docks, smother fishing gear, disrupt marine farming, or even alter marine ecosystems. Due to its catastrophic affects, Undaria is considered one of the world's worst invasive species.

From Monterey Bay Aquarium; a Look at Sea Otters. • Video 1: a cute sea otter to entice you to learn more about these cuties. • Video 2: Why the sea otter is a keystone species. Sea otters eat sea urchins which feed on kelp. Without sea otters the kelp forests so many ocean life forms rely on would be destroyed. • Video 3: A sea otter floating in a healthy kelp forest. If you’re ever in Monterey, California be sure to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In addition to amazing exhibits of sea creatures from fish to jellyfish to sea otters, there is also a lot of research and rescue, rehabilitation & release of sea mammals and championing the ocean and what we can do to halt the plastic pollution that negatively affects so many animals that live on the sea or get their meals from the ocean.• • #MontereyBayAquarium #MontereyBay #MontereyCalifornia #SeaOtters #SeaOtter #KeystoneSpecies #KelpForests #Cute #SeaOttersEatUrchins #Kawaii https://www.instagram.com/p/B7tbpKjA_Fd/?igshid=f33brukuct45
