Irish moss is a thickening agent.  It gets treated in a variety of ways 
after harvesting from the sea.
Carrageenan is derived from it.
Kelp is highly nutritious and you've probably seen it in plant food.
I found a source for sea spaghetti, if you're interested. It is lovely in 
soups, I have found.

Sea spaghetti, irish moss, and kelp are all different forms of seaweed.
Like its name, sea spaghetti is noodle-like in shape.

That's the most recipes I have seen in any one place. What is sea
spaghetti? Irish moss? Kelp?

Sample:

from a blend of avocado, carrots and currants in a sea spaghetti base
dressed with basil and olive oil.

Salad Preparation: Method: Wash the sea spaghetti well, place in a bowl
cover with warm water and set aside to soak for about 1 hour, or until
tender. After the sea spaghetti has soaked for 50 minutes, beginning
preparing the salad. Halve the avocados and remove the stones. Take off
the skins then cut the flesh into strips. Drizzle the lemon juice over
the avocado strips and toss to coat (this will both flavour them and
stop them from turning brown). When ready to serve, arrange the avocado
slices and carrots in the base of a bowl. Drain he soaked sea spaghetti

dress with olive oil and sea salt. Toss gently to combine, garnish with
