Yellow & Brown Algae

Yellow & Brown Algae

Pictured is a type commonly known as Rockweed ( Fucus vesiculosus, or Bladderwrack ) a tough northern type, adapted to the rocky shores of New England. However, it is more than happy to grow on jetties and pilings wherever it finds them and is quite common in the inlets around New Jersey. Like many other forms of algae, this one has gas bladders for flotation.
