Never seen as much foam as I saw this morning!! Ocean was really churning I guess!! It was the entire length of the beach and in places looked like there was a foam blizzard!!

wow that's alot of foam. Does anyone know how or what makes the foam?

I am curious myself?

Looks like there is foam on the roof :confused:

Was it cold enough for the spray to freeze?

I didn't see any freeze but yeah...the foam was everywhere! Pushed up between the houses.....a couple feet deep in a few spots! Up on roofs and blown and drifted across the streets!

foam is the break down of organic organisms living in our waters.

learnt that in marine bio last week :D

So that's where D and D Cappuccino goes?

It's whale sperm

is anybody gonna tell the Big Guy

that the lyric is ".........WHITE with foam"???
:bl: :bl: :bl:

I know that BD....but that foam ain't white and the beach is wide! Thus "wide" with foam! Sorry for taking license with the lyric!:rollem:

thin ice on the lake....:af:

global warming

Too much air in God's Keg?

Like Hye said, it has to due with the organic nutrients in the water. There are alot less nutrients in the water in tropical and sub-tropical regions, which is why there is less to no foam.

Coral reefs are almost totally devoid of nutrients, which is why the water is clearer and the sun penetrates deeper.

My guess is that in situations of high foam, there was some kind of organic die-off. If you notice in highly polluted waters, even in fresh water, you will see higher concentrations of foam.

Just my 2 cents.

Also, loose protein matter sticks to bubbles. Look up "Protein Skimming", as in saltwater aquarium filtration, if you really want to know more.

i was poking fun of Joe McCaine's call to 911
