After a long and cold winter in Sweden, it is finally time for the 21st Intenational Seaweed Symposium to kick off in Bali.

There are more than 500 participants and the program is full of interesting talks, mini-symposia and posters. For full details, download the programs on the symposium website.

We will endeavour to summarize the different topics presented during the symposia, so that our followers have plenty to discuss over coffee or tea.

While we are waiting for the registration to open, here are som pictures of seaweed that we have already found, while acklimatizing to the climate and timezone (read: been on a holiday here). Enjoy!

A beautiful red algae.

This one reminds me of Furcellaria lumbricalis.
