I've been treating seaweed the same as fresh cut flowers these days in that it looks great when I gather it but will always need replacing every couple weeks. For whatever reason i just can't keep it alive longer than 4 weeks. I don't mind gathering more but I've noticed that the weed seems to change every couple months (

There is a correlation between the shifting seasons and which varieties of weed seem to be flourishing at the time but is this just co-incidental? I'm pretty sure that my local park has just the one species of grass all year round thus not migratory patterns there, why should sea grass be any different? But sure enough you won't find a single blade of sea grass in Port Phillip Bay any more as the 'green rock fuzz' has moved in everywhere. There will be a few more types come and go and then the sea grass will be back again. Is this the dormant/active cycle of many plants on a perfect natural roster? Is it related to water temperatures and seasons? Or is it a ceaseless battle for dominance between plant species?
