What the heck is this stuff?
Found this foam looking stuff washed up for miles on the beach this morning. Seems like I've seen it before but never this much. It's like packing
peanuts but lighter, might be Cheetos that have lost their color.
Any guesses?

At first glance it looks like pork rinds...maybe lost their color due to the salty water? if you pull them are they elastic?

I think they are sea snail eggs but that's just a guess.

Egg cases from some marine creature?
Do the cells have anything in them? Or, do they look empty, like something has already left them?
If there are miles and miles of them, that would be a significant "spill" of something manmade.

There isn't anything inside of them, they are lighter than a packing peanut. I'm sure they came from something living.

I think that stuff is insulation from the ***iyamiachi power plant. Do your fingers glow in the dark?

Eat some and tell us what it tastes like, add some hot sauce.

In other words, so far nobody's got a clue. It would be nice to know however. Does it seem to feel organic or could it be packing peanuts conditioned
by salt water? If so it should burn like any petrochemical compound.

Saw this today washed up near LB, too. Looked like a casing of some sort. Not salp. Very light and wispy - like a shed snake skin, but whiter.
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.

Seems like a long time ago I saw those and at the time I related them to some of those little jellyfish that float around.

DAvid,
You are a smart guy.....do you think the stuff is organic or synthetic?
From the pics, I would guess it to be a man-made substance.....
Don't believe everything you think....

It is definitely organic, kinda spongy and elastic. undoubtedly a byproduct of something living.
