bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is a type of brown seaweed (Fucus vesiculosus) that grows on the northern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and on the northern Atlantic coast and Baltic coast of Europe. It gets its name from its air-filled thalli or "bladders" that keep the seaweed afloat. Bladderwrack is often used in herbal medicine, especially in treatments related to the thyroid, due to its high iodine content. It's also used in skin-care products and as a food ingredient due to various potential health benefits.
