Bladder wrack (Fucus vesiculosus) lies on the wet sand at Druridge Bay, Northumberland. The seaweed is characterized by its brown color and air-filled bladders that help it float. Surrounding the seaweed, foam and water reflect the sky, highlighting the tidal zone of the beach. The smooth sand and gentle ripples indicate a calm shoreline environment.
