Summary
To most people, the mention of marine plants conjures up images of rotting seaweeds piled high on the beach, or slithering threateningly around bare ankles during a paddle in the shallows.

About The Author
John M. Huismann
John Huisman received his Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne in 1986 and soon after moved to Western Australia, where he is currently the Curator of the Western Australian Herbarium. The focus of John’s research is the taxonomy of Western Australian seaweeds, chiefly those of north-western Australia. He has long held a passion for photography, particularly underwater and of his beloved algae, and his images have appeared in numerous books. He hopes his work promotes awareness of the algae in a different, positive light, not just as pond scum or smelly beach drift. John has authored nine books and over 200 scientific papers, chapters and general interest articles. He received the Prescott award for his scientific book on Hawaiian algae, and his seaweed photography has won awards in several international competitions.
