How do marine iguanas deal with the salt load that they get from drinking sea water and eating salty seaweed?

During the course of their feeding, marine iguanas ingest large amounts of salt water. They, like other iguanas, possess salt glands, located between their eyes and nostrils, which concentrate and remove salt. The salt is deposited in the nostril where it is subsequently ejected by a "sneezing" action. This ejection occurs periodically, and is also used to warn of intruders, especially over-inquisitive tourists. The spray often shoots up into the air and then falls back on the head, where it forms the white "wig" often seen on marine iguanas.

What are adaptations of bull kelp?

Kelp needs to withstand ocean currents, so it's roots/ hold fast is adapted to dig deep into the rocks and soil to make sure it doesn't drift anywhere.

Kelp also has a very strong, fast growing stipe (stem), with floats (gas filled compartments that help the blades reach the sunlight at the surface), as this is where photosynthesis takes place, as well as mineral absorption as roots are used as anchors only. Many species can adapt their blades to their local environment, for example the blades may be wide in calm waters and thinner in exposed areas.

Many species also have their meristem in their stipe allowing them to regenerate if blades are ripped off or grazed.
