However, when I read further I took a sigh of relief and acknowledged that this is a natural wonder. Conservation Department community relations programme manager Stacy Moore revealed that these are actually goose barnacles (Lepas anatifera) attached to either a piece of rope or wood.

The sight has horrified many beachgoers at Waikanae. Each goose barnacle measures around thirty centimeters.
