AlgaeBase

Okay, so have you ever seen those green little "things" growing on rocks or in water? Well, those are called algae. Algae are like plants, but they are much smaller and usually you can't see them with your eyes. So scientists who study algae have created something called "algaebase", which is like a big library of all the information that they have learned about different types of algae.

Think of it like your mom's recipe box. She collects all her favorite recipes and keeps them in one place, so she doesn't forget how to make them. Algaebase is like that but for scientists who want to learn more about algae. It has lots of information like what different types of algae look like, where they grow, and what they are used for.

So, if you're ever curious about algae, you can visit algaebase to learn more!
