Hello @zakludick😄 I thank you for the contribution and your ideas, I understand that you live in places where there are kelp forests, in that case the algae function as a complete habitat for the species that live there.

In other parts of Mexico there are also kelp forests and in those areas you can see sea lions, we do not see them in other areas!

In conclusion, marine algae play a very important and different role by species, leading to other organisms interacting in a different niche🐬
