Field Notes

Habitat:

Sandy seagrass meadows, sandy areas near reefs.

Notes:

There's debate about the kingdom algae is classified in no least because organisms called algae are very diverse and not all closely related. Traditionally classified in as Protists, some Bio text is now placing them as Plants (in particular the multicellular, photosynthezing ones).
