  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.

    if i let it
    can cover
    my heart
    with a
    shell
    and
    i become
    numb
    to the

    swimming

    if i
    am honest
    and allow
    divinity

    then
    a molting

    a

    1/2🧵

    Warming oceans fuel the spread of Sargassum, a floating seaweed that grows rapidly. It’s escaped its native habitat and is growing huge swaths around the Atlantic and Caribbean. When it dumps on shore, it releases sulfiric fumes that smell terrible and the seaweed itself contains toxic heavy metals.

    There are now numerous startups to explore it for carbon sequestration, bio-plastics/construction material, fertilizer, cosmetics…

  4. University of British Columbia: UBC seaweed-derived coating keeps strawberries fresher than a fridge. “University of British Columbia researchers have developed an edible, seaweed-derived coating that can keep strawberries fresh for at least four days at room temperature, outperforming uncoated berries stored in the fridge. The breakthrough could help address one of the food industry’s most […]

  7. Record surge of seaweed swamps Mexico's Caribbean coast

    A record wave of brown, smelly seaweed is washing up on beaches along Mexico's Caribbean coast, forcing closures in top tourist destinations and inflicting mounting economic damage on hotels, restaurants and shops.

    Oceans are throwing up.

  9. All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛

    #Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.

    After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.

    It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

  14. IT'S TIME FOR NOODS!

    Happy Monday y'all. The world is on fire and it's mostly our fault.

    I'm happier news, there is #ramen. Today with #Broccoli, #radishes, #scallions, #bokchoy, #seaweed and a can of #sardines. A big bowl of nourishing.

  15. 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.

  17. ALL THAT IS WILD AND EDIBLE…
    Many of us are familiar with foraging for edible plants and useful materials in the bush. Now, a new book by Tasmanian author, Rees Campbell, who wrote Eat More Wild Tasmanian, takes foraging onto our seashores.

    Rees’ book focuses on identifying and processing seaweeds for food. It joins a slew of other seashore guide books that would be useful additions to any beachcomber’s library.

    This review takes a look at the growing library of identification guides for Tasmanian foragers.

  18. 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.

    #horror365

    The perfect crime.
    Deep sea fishing.
    Private charter, late night departure, no crew and a couple of buckets of chum.
    The whining had finally been silenced when I'd surrendered to the rage she always provoked.
    Over the depths I poured the contents of the buckets, then settled in for the night.

    A vile stench awakened me to find her reconstituted shredded features capped by #seaweed facing me in the cabin.
    "I told you I'd never leave you..."
