Sea Urchin, Mussels, and Seaweed Coastal Foraging Workshop

Learn to harvest and prepare coastal delicacies with this sea urchin, mussels, and seaweed coastal foraging workshop in Bodega Bay or Sea Ranch (depending on the booked date) ---- perfect for adventurous seafood lovers. Sea urchins have overpopulated the Sonoma and Mendocino Coast. Mussel season has begun, and seaweed is still clinging to the rocks!There's been an explosion of purple sea urchins 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 the vital role that bull kelp plays in the ecosystem. For this foraging workshop, you'll need a one-day or seasonal fishing license if you want to collect sea urchins and mussels. If not, you are welcome to watch us collect and help us clean them, and join in prepping and eating the uni!Please noteIf you cannot make an event you purchased a ticket to, please feel free to sell or gift your spot to a friend. If we have to reschedule due to weather conditions, we will offer a rain date, or you can use the credit for upcoming events, but we cannot give a refund.
