Kelp Lines is a seasonal collaboration between Ocean Strategies, Washington Sea Grant and the Washington Seaweed Collaborative that serves up the latest on seaweed farming and restoration in Washington State.
Our curated content is categorized to help you zero in on the items most relevant to YOUR interests: Washington, Regional, National, Events, Resources, and Research. A few topics we delivered last week:
- Building Capacity for Kelp (Laminariales) Mariculture in the Salish Sea: Ecological Considerations and Initial Farm Design Guidance – Great to see this important assessment by Emily Buckner (and a whole slew of Seaweed Collaborative members) published at last!
- The Under Story – a Northwest Straits social media series all about kelp! New posts every ~2 weeks on Facebook (@northweststraitsinitiative), Instagram and LinkedIn (both @nwstraits). Please like and share to spread the word!
