Kelp frond showing pneumatocysts. Giant Photo. Image ID: 00627 Species: Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera Location: San Clemente Island, California, USA	A kelp forest, with sunbeams passing through kelp fronds. Giant kelp, the fastest plant on Earth, reaches from the rocky bottom to the ocean's surface like a terrestrial forest. Giant Picture.

Image ID: 01153 Species: Blue shark, Prionace glauca, Macrocystis pyrifera Location: San Diego, California, USA	A giant sequoia tree, soars skyward from the forest floor, lit by the morning sun and surrounded by other sequioas. The massive trunk characteristic of sequoia trees is apparent, as is the crown of foliage starting high above the base of the tree. Stock Photography of Giant.

Red gorgonian on rocky reef, below kelp forest, underwater. The red gorgonian is a filter-feeding temperate colonial species that lives on the rocky bottom at depths between 50 to 200 feet deep. Gorgonians are oriented at right angles to prevailing water currents to capture plankton drifting by. Pictures of Giant. Image ID: 23420 Species: Red gorgonian, Giant kelp, Lophogorgia chilensis, Macrocystis pyrifera Location: San Clemente Island, California, USA	California golden gorgonian and small juvenile sheephead fishes on rocky reef, below kelp forest, underwater. The golden gorgonian is a filter-feeding temperate colonial species that lives on the rocky bottom at depths between 50 to 200 feet deep. Each individual polyp is a distinct animal, together they secrete calcium that forms the structure of the colony. Gorgonians are oriented at right angles to prevailing water currents to capture plankton drifting by. Giant Photo. Image ID: 23421 Species: California golden gorgonian, California sheephead, Muricea californica, Semicossyphus pulcher Location: San Clemente Island, California, USA	Kelp fronds and pneumatocysts. Pneumatocysts, gas-filled bladders, float the kelp plant off the ocean bottom toward the surface and sunlight, where the leaf-like blades and stipes of the kelp plant grow fastest. Giant kelp can grow up to 2' in a single day given optimal conditions. Epic submarine forests of kelp grow throughout California's Southern Channel Islands. Giant Picture.

Giant kelp plants lean over in ocean currents, underwater. Individual kelp plants grow from the rocky reef, to which they are attached, up to the ocean surface and form a vibrant community in which fishes, mammals and invertebrates thrive. Stock Photography of Giant. Image ID: 23426 Species: Giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera Location: San Clemente Island, California, USA	A kelp forest. Giant kelp grows rapidly, up to 2' per day, from the rocky reef on the ocean bottom to which it is anchored, toward the ocean surface where it spreads to form a thick canopy. Myriad species of fishes, mammals and invertebrates form a rich community in the kelp forest. Lush forests of kelp are found through California's Southern Channel Islands. Photograph of Giant.
