Peter Dombrovskis - Macrocystis and Hormosira Seaweed Perigord Truffles of Tasmania which is Tasmania’s floral emblemMacrocystis and Hormosira seaweed, Tasmania The kelp (Macrocystis) and the Neptunes necklace (Hormosira) featured in the photograph both have gas filled bladders (pneumatocysts) that keep them afloat and allow the seaweed to receive sun for photosynthesis. If you look closely at the kelp pneumatocysts, you can just see the reflection of a man, Dombrovskis himself, crouching next to a tripod. It is a rare self portrait, probably an accidental one.
