Rockweed (Fucus distichus) - Kirby Cove 9/18/21

I found a few rockweeds when I went on a hike with some friends at Kirby Cove. They were on Kirby beach near the camping site that we reached after walking one of the trails off Conzelman Road. We parked on Conzelman Road after the roundabout on the one way. During the hike, there were a few other species of plants and birds along the way, with abandoned bunkers off the trail. I used the seek app to identify the plant and found that it is a native plant with the scientific name Fucus distichus and part of the phylum Ochrophyta.
