The shoreline was covered with a mulch of broken seaweed. I should have taken a picture, but stepping into the sea I stepped into a mass of waist-deep thick soup of small broken seaweeds. It was like stepping into thick mud, and difficult to lift the leg out of., and especially difficult to leave the ocean upon finishing the survey.
