Episode 7: Interview with Dr. Jennifer Clark from Cascadia Seaweed
In this episode Maia and Yuko get to talk to Dr. Jennifer Clark from Cascadia Seaweed. As the Chief Science Officer and resident marine phycologist (i.e. seaweed scientist) at Cascadia, Jennifer is a wealth of information on all things seaweed! We talk about what are seaweeds and how does Cascadia Seaweed farm them? How do they help to mitigate climate change and bio-remediate regions of the ocean that are impacted by agricultural and municipal runoff? How can you incorporate more seaweed into your diet in unusual ways? We also discuss upcoming projects at Cascadia Seaweed such as bioplastics, a seaweed gametophyte bank, and the upcoming Seaweed Days Festival on May 17th-23rd.
