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.

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…

I hope they can find #sustainable uses for the #sargassum, such as #biochar https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/world/americas/mexico-sargassum-beach-cleanup.html #climate #seaweed

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. 💪

Shifting #Climate Alters Pattern of #Atlantic’s Giant #Seaweed Blobs
Blooms of yellowish-brown seaweed along the Equator are breaking records and defiling beaches, while a centuries-old patch farther north is disappearing.
A study published Thursday in the journal Nature Geoscience finds a big shift in the growth patterns of #sargassum, a type of floating #macroalgae that provides food and shelter for fish, turtles, seabirds and other marine life.

#MarineFungi Could Eat #PlasticPollution, Helping to Clean Our #Oceans and #Beaches

Learn more about the marine #fungi that could be conditioned to help clean up #Hawaii’s beaches.

"Hawaii is home to some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes. Striking blue waters, lush jungles, and pristine beaches make it a paradise. It’s also home to other unique inhabitants, such as sea turtles, dolphins, and… plastics?

"According to a new study from the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa, plastics are becoming the most prevalent form of pollution in the ocean, which can be detrimental to marine species and their habitat. However, researchers from UH discovered a fungus from Hawai‘i’s nearshore environment that may have the ability to break down plastics, and to top it off, they may be conditioned to do it faster. The findings were recently published in Mycologia.

" 'Plastic in the environment today is extremely long-lived and is nearly impossible to degrade using existing technologies,' said Ronja Steinbach, lead author of the study and a marine biology undergraduate student at the UH Mānoa College of Natural Sciences, in a press release.

"Marine fungi may be a term you’ve never heard before. This is likely due to the fact that less than 1 percent of marine fungi are known to science.

" 'Our research highlights marine fungi as a promising and largely untapped group to investigate for new ways to recycle and remove plastic from #nature. Very few people study fungi in the ocean, and we estimated that fewer than one percent of marine fungi are currently described,' said Steinbach in the press release.

"For this study, the research team looked at marine fungi found in #corals, #seaweed, #sand, and #sponges from Hawai’i’s nearshore. And they hope that the fungi could help degrade plastics in the marine environment.

" 'Fungi possess a superpower for eating things that other organisms can’t digest (like #wood or #chitin), so we tested the fungi in our collection for their ability to digest plastic,' said Anthony Amend, Pacific Biosciences Research Center professor and co-lead author of the study, in a press release.

The Hungry Fungi

"The team exposed the fastest-growing fungi to small dishes filled with #polyurethane, a common plastic, and noted if and how fast the fungi would consume it. The team also 'experimentally evolved' the fungi to see if they would grow and consume more polyurethane the more they were exposed to the plastic.

" 'We were shocked to find that more than 60 percent of the fungi we collected from the ocean had some ability to eat plastic and transform it into fungi,' Steinbach said in a press release. 'We were also impressed to see how quickly fungi were able to adapt. It was very exciting to see that in just three months, a relatively short amount of time, some of the fungi were able to increase their feeding rates by as much as 15 percent.'

"The research team is currently working to see if these marine fungi can break down other forms of plastics, such as #polyethylene and #PolyethyleneTerephthalate. They’re also trying to understand how, at a molecular level, these fungi can degrade these plastics.

" 'We hope to collaborate with #engineers, #chemists, and #oceanographers who can leverage these findings into actual solutions to clean up our beaches and oceans,' said Steinbach in a press release.

Sargassum seaweed (Sargassum muticum) or Wire-weed is an invasive seaweed, originating in Japan that is now found all along our coastline. Believed to have been spread between oyster farms. The small round air bladders help it float upright in the water column - and spread along the coasts when fragmented during stormy weather.
County Clare, Ireland.

🌊🍙MOTHER OF THE SEA🍘✨

Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker (キャスリーンメアリードリューベイカー 1901-57) is not well known in her homeland, but in Japan she has become a national hero, remembered at Sumiyoshi-jinja in Uto (宇土-Kumamoto Prefecture) as the savior of the seaweed industry.

On April 14th Japan's nori farmers travel to pay their respects to Drew-Baker's memorial overlooking the Ariake Sea, a huge bay filled with seaweed farms.

Secrets of #sargassum: Scientists advance knowledge of #seaweed causing chaos in the Caribbean and West Africa
https://phys.org/news/2024-05-secrets-sargassum-scientists-advance-knowledge.html paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2312173121

"floating mats of sargassum have long been present in the North #Atlantic. However, since 2011, a population has established between West Africa and South America, and increased in size to form 'the great Atlantic sargassum belt'—a 9,000km-long bloom, visible from space and estimated to weigh 35 million tons."

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.
