Halimeda incrassata

description Halimeda incrassata Overview

Halimeda incrassata is a species of calcified green alga found in tropical and subtropical shallow marine environments, particularly in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the western Atlantic Ocean. The alga consists of a chain of flattened, calcium carbonate segments connected by flexible joints and grows erect from sandy or muddy substrates in seagrass beds and on reef flats. As segments die and break down, they release calcium carbonate sediment, making Halimeda species among the most significant contributors to tropical shallow-water carbonate sand production.
