Description
[National Geographic Wallpaper] Senorita Wrasse (아씨놀래기) and Orange Garibaldi (붉은자리돔)

Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, California
1996
David Doubilet

“A towering grove of giant kelp harbors grazing senorita wrasses and orange garibaldi???a protected subtropical fish that rarely ranges farther north than the Channel Islands. Giant kelp is the Jack’s beanstalk of algae, capable of growing two feet [0.6 meters] a day to lengths of a hundred feet [30.5 meters]. Though harvested for algin (used in paints, foods, and makeup), kelp provides sustenance and shelter for so many forms of life that Darwin likened kelp forests to rain forests in their bounty.”

???From “Blue Refuges: U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries,” March 1998, National Geographic magazine
