The extra high and extra low tides brought on by the perigee full moon have brought large amounts of algae onto the beaches in several sites in Kihei. The Hypnea musciformis made up only a small portion of the various algae and limu on the beach.

This was floating in the water at the surface. The sample is about the size from the tip of my thumb to the first knuckle on my thumb (pretty small), hence the difficulty in getting a decent quality/properly focused shot with just a cell phone camera.
