About the Natural Species Being Replicated
Alaria esculenta, commonly known as Winged Kelp, Dabberlocks, or Badderlocks, is a brown kelp found in cold coastal waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, including areas of Europe and North America.
In nature, Alaria esculenta is commonly found along exposed rocky shorelines, particularly in areas experiencing strong wave action. It typically grows attached to rocks near and below the low-water mark.
The natural kelp has a distinctive brown frond with a prominent central midrib and a wavy, membranous blade extending along either side. The frond is generally unbranched and tapers toward the end. A short stipe connects the frond to a branching, root-like holdfast that anchors the kelp to rocky substrates.
