So that’s how they float?

Our five year old has always been intensely interested in animals. Now his interest has expanded to examining their entire habitat. This was on one of our walks down to the Ft. Rachel Marina. Along the way is a small public boat launch area where he spotted a pair of spawning horseshoe crabs. It is now one of his favorite spots to examine some of the smaller visitors and inhabitants to the estuary.
This time we spotted a large whelk, a few green crabs, hermit crabs and a mud crab. Always present are the mussels, European periwinkles and of course the seaweed. Since some of the crab were hiding in this brown seaweed (species? some sort of wrack?) he decided to explore it in more detail, especially the gas filled floats.
