Virtual Panel Discussion: West Coast Kelp Watchers
April 29 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
This is a virtual discussion — beam in from anywhere!
Greenhorns and Smithereen Farm present a free virtual panel discussion with West Coast aquaculture practitioners.
What do the west coast Kelp watchers see off their shore? This digital panel features longtime wild harvesters and conservation-minded aquaculturists speaking from their own experience observing Pacific species, particularly in the last years impacted by ocean heating events that have caused cascading impacts in the coastal kelp forests. Each will talk about her own lifeworld in seaweed, observations about changes in the ocean, reflections on the territoriality, customary practices, and regulatory structures that inform their harvest. They will bring up some of the misconceptions and 101 thinking that they bring to their work as educators and naturalists, “docents to the wild world of seaweed” as well as some points that are relevant for those who wish to see more careful state regulation, and where/ how to approach a life in seaweed learning.
