Bringing the ocean to the forest, well, because our forests don’t simply end at the coastline, but continue on into the sea in the form of kelps and seaweed! This workshop is an introduction to oceanography, coastal ecology, including the edible shellfish and seaweeds that line our shores from coast based marine biologist and seaweed farmer, Alanna Kieffer of Shifting Tides. We will discuss the abundance, diversity, safety, and seasonality of sea vegetables and shellfish, with a seaweed touch tank and identification workshop!
