Seaweed

It blooms during winter to early spring in seafront. Apparently, the species belongs to Sargassaceae. The texture is not really edible, since the fibre is too strong (don’t ask me how I know). There are also some edible seaweed found in seafront reported by Dr. Cynthia Yau.

When there is full of seaweed, there is also full of sea urchins, because they eat seaweed. This editor has seen non-HKUSTer came to collect urchins during early Spring.

I don’t recommend people to eat any creatures in seafront cuz it’s full of trash.

They eat trash, you eat them, so you are eating trash.
