They can range in size from less than 1 inch to as more than 200 feet in length. Marine macroalgae\u2014also called seaweed\u2014are the foundation of every ocean shelf\u2019s bottom ecosystems and provide food and habitat for myriad species. Algae are the primary producers of organic matter at the base of the food chain(1). Macroalgae are\u00a0not\u00a0the same type of plants responsible for harmful algal blooms that cause local \u201cred tides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"h4\">The estimated 5,000\u20136,000 marine algae species are classified in three categories: Rhodophyta (red), Chlorophyta (green), and Phaeophyta (brown).<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7632 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Red_green_brown_algae_captioned.png\" alt=\"Preserved specimens of red, green and brown algae labeled with scientific names Rhodophyta (red), Chlorophyta (green) and Phaeophyta (brown)\" width=\"1708\" height=\"689\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Red_green_brown_algae_captioned.png 1708w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Red_green_brown_algae_captioned-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Red_green_brown_algae_captioned-1024x413.png 1024w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Red_green_brown_algae_captioned-768x310.png 768w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Red_green_brown_algae_captioned-1536x620.png 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1708px) 100vw, 1708px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1708px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1708\/689;\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>What are algae used for?<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to its important role in the ocean ecosystem, humans use algae for a wide variety of products that you encounter every day.\u00a0 Seaweed farming has become a global agricultural crop, with an estimated 50 million pounds of algae and algae products consumed each year. Carrageenan, alginate, and agar are ingredients extracted from algae and used in consumer goods\u2014primarily as thickeners or binding agents\u2014such as toothpaste, ice cream, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and baby food.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Carrageenan<\/strong>: Carrageenan is found in Rhodophyta (red) algae species such as Irish Moss (<em>Chondrus cripus<\/em>), Gus\u00f4 (<em>Eucheuma<\/em>), and False Irish Moss\/Carrageen Moss (<em>Gigartina stellata<\/em>). It is used as a binder in products like dog food, chocolate, toothpaste, ice cream and baby food (2).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alginate<\/strong>: Alginate is found in Phaeophyta (brown) algae species such as giant kelp (<em>Macrocystis pyrifera<\/em>)<em>,\u00a0<\/em>oar weed (<em>Laminaria digitata<\/em>)<em>,\u00a0<\/em>common cold water seaweed (<em>Ascophyllum nodosum<\/em>)<em>,\u00a0<\/em>and Gulfweed\/sea holly\u00a0<em>Sargassum<\/em>\u00a0(<em>Sargassum polycystum\u00a0<\/em>and<em>\u00a0Sargassum filipendula<\/em>). It is used as a thickener to make water-based products thicker or creamier such as ranch dressing, ice cream, fruit juices, yogurt, heartburn relief medicine, and hand creams. Sodium alginate is used in animal food, fertilizers, and as a gelling agent in papers, textiles and pharmaceuticals (2).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agar<\/strong>: Agar is found in Rhodophyta (red) algae species such as\u00a0<em>Gelidium Isabelae<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Gelidium spinosum, Pterocladia,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Laurencia flexilis<\/em>. It is used as a thickener and gelling agent in products such as Danishes, smoothies, doughnuts, marmalade, jam, jelly candy, cheese, puddings, gelatin fruit desserts, meat products, bakery fillings and icings, dry\/canned soups, and ice cream (2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How are specimens collected and identified?<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Collecting seaweed (marine macroalgae) for Mote&#039;s herbarium\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CkKLQqhQhFY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As pictured in this video from 1955 at the Cape Haze Marine Lab (now Mote Marine Laboratory) large groups of algae are collected and sorted. After collection, specimens are artfully arranged and attached to sheets as they dry; no adhesive is used.<\/p>\n<p>An algal species\u2019 habitat, depth, and form can be used to help identify the species, as well as its season and geographic location when collected. Aids for identification include a dichotomous key, field guides, herbaria, and marine phycologists, who may use additional methods such as microscopic inspection or dissection, boiling, or submersion in a solution of alcohol or potassium iodide.<\/p>\n<h3>What can be learned from these specimens?<\/h3>\n<p>Herbarium specimens can be used as a historical record of the diversity and distribution of different species, as well as for identification purposes. Additionally, DNA studies can be conducted using dried specimens, and contaminants, if any, can remain on the specimens and still be studied decades later. Tissue samples from a dried specimen may begin to grow again in seawater and sunlight.<\/p>\n<h3>Algae (seaweed) vs. seagrass:<\/h3>\n<p>Algae and seagrasses differ in a number of ways including their structure, means of reproduction, and methods of nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>Macroalgae have a relatively simple structure and, unlike seagrasses or other plants, do not have roots, a stem, and leaves, but instead have a holdfast, stipe, and blade. Macroalgae do not make flowers or seeds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7633\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7633\" style=\"width: 1565px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7633 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2.png\" alt=\"A graphic comparing seagrass and algae\" width=\"1565\" height=\"909\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2.png 2467w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2-768x446.png 768w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2-1536x892.png 1536w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2-2048x1190.png 2048w, https:\/\/mote.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Syringodium_filiforme_manatee_seagrass_background_cropped_2-1920x1115.png 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1565px) 100vw, 1565px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1565px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1565\/909;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seagrass vs. algae.
