Seaweed in the past has been a misunderstood part of our marine world. Until recently it has always been seen through the lens of a slimy gross weed that no one likes to touch while swimming. Now, seaweed is being seen as a way to help diversify careers, feed livestock, and help solve climate change. This Learn Discover Grow event will focus on highlighting the importance of seaweed and how mid coast businesses are utilizing these ocean greens.
First we will watch the film “Ocean Greens” (link below) online at the WaterBear network. We will then take time to talk to our wonderful guest speakers about how they use seaweed in their business! Our speakers are, Allison Lakin from Lakin’s Gorges Cheese, Gabriela Acero from wolfpeach, and Lauren & Greg Soutiea from the Causeway Restaurant at the Craignair.
