About the event
There's been an explosion of purple sea urchin along the California Coast. These creatures are not invasive, but rather signify an ecosystem out of balance. In this workshop you'll learn about how they threaten the bull kelp that has been disappearing along our coast due to a perfect storm of environmental stressors that are related to climate change. We'll also talk about how the vital role that bull kelps plays in the ecosystem and you'll learn ways to clean & store sea urchin and enjoy the delicious uni. You'll also learn how to ethically forage mussels and about the many types of culinary seaweed growing along our coast and how to ethically harvest them and ways to use it.
For this workshop, you'll need a one day or seasonal fishing license if you want to collect sea urchin and mussels. No license is necessary for just seaweed.
