Join us at the Historic Boathouse make your own seaweed cyanotypes! A cyanotype is a photographic blueprint made through a chemical reaction between UV light and chemically coated paper. Come learn about the process and techniques to make cyanotypes using a collection of pressed seaweeds and PNW flora. Your hosts and teachers will be Sam Block, wood worker, photographer, and owner of Block Studio alongside Alanna Kieffer, marine biologist, educator, seaweed farmer, and owner of Shifting Tides.

Join us for a Coastal Dinner as we explore the edible delights of the PNW coastline with Marine Science & Sustainable Seafood Educator Alanna Kieffer

Pacific Dulse is a regenerative, nutrient-rich crop native to Oregon. Oregon Seaweed is growing dulse in tanks on land in Garibaldi, OR. Come learn about the industry of seaweed farming, and the environmental benefits, with Alanna who has been farming seaweed for 2+ years. Students will be able to harvest their own seaweed to take home.

Gather on the shores of the Tillamook Bay to learn how to harvest your own cockle clams! You’ll learn about oceanography and ecology of the area as well as best techniques!

Another tidepool morning on one of the lowest tides of the summer! This workshop will immerse students in the rocky intertidal ecosystems of the Oregon Coast. Spend time exploring the nooks and crannies of the rocky shores looking for critters of all sizes.

Come foraging for mussels! This workshop will introduce students to rocky intertidal ecosystems of the Oregon Coast. We will discuss tides, ocean conditions, safety, and sustainability with a focus on foraging mussels and barnacles.

A full circle day of shellfish and seaweed. Learn and practice sustainable and proper harvest techniques, preparation and storage of cockle clams along the Tillamook Bay. Gather your own harvest to take home. Walk to the Oregon Seaweed facility to learn about the cultivation and uses of Pacific Dulse. Then head to Neahkahnie Smokehouse on the Nehalem River in Wheeler, OR to learn the steps of cooking with citrus to make your own ceviche with commercially harvested butter clams and farmed dulse. Enjoy ciders made locally in Wheeler from Carola Wines.
