Seaweeds can be brown, red or green; calcified, fleshy or in between. Not only are they a main food source to herbivores such as fish, but they can also be used by humans for aquaculture, biofuels, pharmaceuticals and climate mitigation. These kaleidoscope photo edits were made using pressings of common seaweed species found in San Diego, including feather boa kelp (Egregia menziesii), the sea comb (Plocamium pacificum), giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and chain-bladder kelp (Stephanocystis osmundacea).
