We are planning a trip this year through the Pacific Northwest. We love to boondock in our 34 foot RV. Any suggestions for North Cascades NP or Olympic NP? Thanks:)
Red seaweed and algae are common, there are several photosynthetic pigments besides chlorophyll. But in this case these algae use chlorophyll but also contain a red pigment: astaxanthin. The name seems to have been changed to Chlamydomonas nivalis. There are taxonomy wars going on continuously and those scientific names get changed. It's just about impossible for outsiders to keep up with the changes.
