It’s sea water!!!!!!!! Sea water turned foam in huge amount… mysterious? Incredible?
Foam, a substance that is formed by trapping gas bubbles in a liquid or solid.
The photographs (2007 onwards), was when the Australian shoreline at Yamba in New South Wales was swallowed by a layer of foam. It was then dubbed “the Cappuccino Coast”.
Sea foam is likely created by a combination of factors. Decaying organic matter such as fish, plant life and microscopic organisms, seaweed excretions, and other proteins, and in some cases pollutants, are all carried on tiny air bubbles whipped up by tidal movements. As currents reach the shore and a wave forms, the air bubbles well up to the surface sticking together. The wave crashes and the sea foam is delivered to shore. (wiseGEEK) I also read an article “The mystery of foam on the seashore”. Interesting… I learn something new!
Personally, I was a little grossed out by the sea foam. I never liked the fact that you couldn't see what was in it. I don't understand what would drive people to play in the sea foam, especially after learning it is made of rotten fish, seaweed, and chemical runoff. Maybe they didn’t know huh?
Would you jump into one now that you know??
eekkkss!!
