These Udotea sp. meadows were discovered off of Oahu to depths of 80m to 90m. This is the first report of this genus in Hawaii, and we found it covering several kilometers of the sea floor. Little is known about distribution of this species in deep water, or what role it may play ecologically in Oahu. Image courtesy of Deep Water Macroalgal Meadows 2004 Exploration, NOAA-OE
