I live in Norway, near the coast! And the seaweed I'm thinking of is called laminaria hyperborea, apparently. It grows in these giant belts near the edge of the water. C8
Cool things, and I can't deny similarity x)
But I was inspired by algaes like these:

Hard to see, but these guys look really like long and green human hair.They are scary, because they use to tie around your legs while swimming D:
Oh yeah, green algae are cool too! Swimming into those things in brackish water gives me total nightmares though. And then there's also these things from the brown algae family that are basically just these long, thin tendrils that catches your arms and legs too, although I can never remember what those are called. > n <
Algae make for some nightmarish underwater scenes though. And some lively coastal scenes as well, like this picture! * w *

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but the long dude's mane(?) really looks like a type of seaweed I can find everywhere around where I live, and that's pretty damn neat. @u@
