  1. A short trip to the Dutch province of #Zeeland to be with the sea and to cut some #seaweed for kitchen experiments. We took part in a workshop and so were permitted to cut seaweed - not allowed otherwise, for good reason.

    Some things we learned:

    - Always greet the sea.
    - Never pick, always cut, scissors are best. This preserves the holdfasts and allows the seaweed to regrow.
    - Cut only from the top 25% of the seaweed for maximum regrowth.
    - Cut off no more than one third of a piece of seaweed, again for regrowth.
    - All seaweeds in the Netherlands are #edible.
    - Seaweeds are family, treat them with respect.

    We ended up with a nice little treasure chest full of about a dozen species of seaweed. We've fried it, eaten it raw in various permutations, will dry some of it, and keep experimenting.

    life
    if i let it
    can cover
    my heart
    with a
    shell
    and
    i become
    numb
    to the
    other
    denizens
    swimming
    here

    if i
    am honest
    and allow
    divinity
    to intrude
    then
    a molting
    can
    occur
    a
    softening
    for love
    to
    appear

  3. A story of the first Native Hawaiian woman earning a PhD in science.
    A story of ethnobotany and the important knowledge of the indigenous peoples about algae and seaweed - oral stories from the elders preserved and proved by Isabella Aiona Abbott. Her aim was to show how the Hawaiian flora and the Hawaiian culture were connected.
    Important knowledge about marine ecosystems and biodiversity, the role of seaweed and algae to absorb carbon emissions, a renevable source of biofuel and eco-plastics + healthy delicious food.

  8. Stromness Museum has received two grants from AIM to work with the conservator Hana Bristow to rehouse and preserve their seaweed collection, part of which is now on display.

    #Stromness Museum holds a collection of 400 specimens of pressed seaweed collected between 1839 and 1962 by several key Orcadian naturalists.

  9. The Lighthouse and Tidal Treasures

    The tide was very far out when we visited Ballycotton last week, so I wandered out on the rocks, carefully avoiding the slippery seaweed, and took a few photos.

  10. The Sherkin Island Fishing Boat

    A fishing boat with the registration code C353P sits moored in the low-tide mud in Sherkin Island. It sits opposite the island library and has been a feature of the island for as long as I remember. However, it was missing during a visit in 2017, and this gallery of Sherkin Island photos shows an empty space where the boat should be! A blog post here from 2016 shows the boat back in place, so maybe someone took the boat out during my visit in 2017?

    Now I would like to know more about this boat. Who owns it? Does anyone take it out for a spin any more?

    You’ll also find photos of this boat elsewhere, including this article about a Ukrainian family who settled on the island. It’s also featured in a painting created in 2012, but it’s sitting on a dock somewhere, possibly local.

  11. Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.

    The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.

    One reason is methane.

    It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.

    However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.

    A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.
