Seaweed, kelp and algae might be nasty to look at, but they are incredibly essential to the balance of the ecosystem.
In order to show a little love for the marine life which usually gets cast aside as an annoyance, we are bringing you 10 sea scum selections. Check them all out, from ale powered cars to seaweed biofuel. I have to say, I am already feeling bad about calling it them scum.
Implications - The eco movement is undoubtedly in full swing, as consumers continuously jump at the opportunity to purchase products that allow them to reconnect with green living. As a result of the recent oil spills, consumers are especially considerate of products that benefit the ocean. Companies who promote such initiatives will remain socially conscious and preferred among consumers.
