'Portraits of Seaweed' is an ongoing project, showcasing the beautiful forms of seaweed species found in Cornwall UK.
From the ecological impacts in sinking carbon and creating habitats, to a vast range of applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, health, food, fertilisers, biofuel, sustainable materials, this project aims to also illustrate the relatively unknown potential of seaweed to the general public.
