Seaweed

Seaweed, or macroalgae, refers to thousands of species of macroscopic, multicellular, marine algae. The term includes some types of Rhodophyta (red), Phaeophyta (brown) and Chlorophyta (green) macroalgae. Seaweed species such as kelps provide essential nursery habitat for fisheries and other marine species and thus protect food sources. Other species, such as planktonic algae, play a vital role in capturing carbon and producing up to 90% of Earth’s oxygen. Seaweed evokes the senses when used in fragrances to produce fragrances in the Marine family of fragrances.
