Sea foam

Today we saw a large amount of sea foam gathered on Whiskey Beach as much as half a meter thick and covering several hundred square meters of shoreline.  I commented on the natural organic source of sea foam and hinted at how other human introduced chemicals could serve as surfactants but this article does a better job and links to stories of the big sea foam outbreaks in NSW a few years back.
