Seaweed ID?
Hi.
Hope this isn't too off-topic. I'm embarking on a project that will hopefully involve school kids making a seaweed monster out of the seaweed in the attached image. I'd be very grateful for an ID of the seaweed (Bladder Wrack?) and also any info as to whether or not there's anything apart from the smell and slime I should be aware of before introducing the kids to it (Skin irritation?). I'm figuring I'd hose it down and dry it out a bit before use....
TIA for any advice/info.
