Giant clone of seaweed discovered in the Baltic Sea

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have discovered that what was previously thought to be a unique seaweed species of bladderwrack for the Baltic Sea is in fact a giant clone of common bladderwrack, perhaps the world's largest clone overall. The discovery has implications for predicting the future of seaweed in a changing ocean.

Beach just south of #HeartsDelight (i think, i'm not super familiar with that coast!) on the #AvalonPeninsula in #Newfoundland.

P.S. I ran it through Glaze, i'm not sure how devoted i am to doing that yet. But that's why it has a weird texture if you look close.
