seaweedy

Like ocean vegetation

Seaweedy describes something resembling or characteristic of seaweed—in appearance, smell, texture, or taste.

A beach might have a seaweedy smell, or hair might hang in seaweedy strands.

The word often carries slightly unpleasant connotations, suggesting something slimy, tangled, or briny.
