I'm unsure of this seaweed, about 4' long, washed ashore on the island. The floats look larger than the Sargassum muticum (Wireweed) I've seen here and elsewhere...?

Potentially? Very flattened and much more delicate than P. lanceolata but may be young? Found at -2.8 tide, couldn't figure out if it was epiphytic or attached to a rock or not.
