This workshop will introduce students to rocky intertidal ecosystems of the Oregon Coast. We will discuss tides, ocean conditions, and safety and etiquette on the rocks. There will be a focus on foraging mussels and other edibles including barnacles, and seaweed (seaweed is dependent on the season, ONLY March-June 15).
Students will learn where to look for these organisms as well as how to sustainably harvest, store, and process them. There will be a beachside cooking demonstration to wrap up the workshop.
