| | | 4 Seaweed Pics for ID
I took these photos in Ireland. The first and third pics were taken along the Country Antrim Coast. The second was taken on a beach in Donegal near Rosapenna. The last pic was taken in Donegal at Culdaff. Help with IDs would be much appreciated.
Thanks, John.

1 is egg wrack Ascophyllum nodosum, 2 is serrated wrack Fucus serratus and 4 looks like a young bladder wrack Fucus vesiculosus but might be spiral wrack Fucus spiralis. Not too hot on red seaweeds.

Red one might be Chondrus crispus - Carragheen, but not certain - there are one or two similar species.

I think ladyhawk is right, 3 looks like edible dulse - Rhodymenia palmata.
Cheers
