Let it be known that seaweed is a misnomer of the highest order! That is, it is not a noxious weed so much as it is a marine algae most beneficial to life on land and sea. Seaweed, you see, provides essential habitat and food for all manner of marine creatures. And it creates a great deal of the oxygen we land lovers love to breath too, hoo! And yet, I can’t help but shudder when the slimy stuff touches my toes during a swim. Hoot! The horror!
