Marine #algae, rich in proteins & essential nutrients, may soon be an important source of nutrition for humanity. SWIMS went #diving in #HongKong to get specimens of edible algae that may become part of a public exhibition. In the next post we will share photos of species of algae we collected.

Meet the algae. Salads, medicine, paper, ice-cream… these are some of the uses, actual and potential, of the marine algae species that we collected diving last week. Each species has a story, and we are now experimenting with how to preserve them for public display.
