Foamy ocean

Lots and lots of foam in the waves. As a kid, I was grossed out when the ocean got too foamy. Wikipedia says that it is "created by the agitation of seawater, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of dissolved organic matter (including proteins, lignins, and lipids) derived from sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms." So yeah, ick.
