We received this incredible video from the West Coast this morning on our Twitter feed, sent in by the Greymouth Star – and showing some amazing footage of sea foam!

Though it looks like snow, it’s simply a natural phenomenon created by the agitation of the ocean, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of organic matter like algal blooms or other fungi!

Check out the video below – and remember we love receiving pictures and videos, so please keep them coming!

Snow? Nope – sea foam! #Greymouth @WeatherWatchNZ pic.twitter.com/BwXDsSQuJS
