Well basically in a nut shell seaweeds are plants (marine algae) that live in seawater
They dont have roots and they feed from the water around them
Just like some plants most seaweeds have seasons,
they grow very fast in spring some times 20ft in 1 month.
marine algae reproduce by giving off spores althow most seaweeds are seasonal some types can live for 20 years.
There are three main types red, brown, and green, some are 30ft long others only a few inches each type has its own characteristic texture and flavour.
seaweeds can be found from the high tide line down to a depth of 60m below the sea,

Natural Kelp seaweed reflects the water it is harvested from. To get the best quality, it needs to have come from clean unpolluted sea water like those we collect from around the beautiful Isle of Bute in Scotland. At the north end of the Isle we find the perfect conditions for Fresh healthy good quality seaweed. good rough wave action and fast flowing currents of seawater, rushing twice a day past the seaweed from the sleeping warrior and the deep waters of the sound of Arran. Next to this are mountains from which which millions of litres of fresh rainwater flow down into Loch Riddon and the Kyles of Bute
This is prime seaweed country.
