Rockweed (Fucus distichus) hangs from a sheer, barnacle-encrusted rock along the shore of Fidalgo Island in Washington Park, Anacortes, Washington. Rockweed is a brown alga seaweed that grows profusely in the upper and middle intertidal zones. Its branches are tipped by swollen bladders, called receptacles, which allow it to reproduce.
