I finally got a mahjong set (vintage)! Very excited…and it’s so pretty to look at. 🤩 Hopefully I can find some folks in my small town to play.

My husband just spotted a Mola mola on western Prince of Wales Island (southern Southeast Alaska). They’re not unheard of in these parts, coming in with warmer water masses.

"Alaska's newest gold rush: seaweed"
I'll amend the article by saying that, although the kelps are golden in color, Alaskan businesses are still learning how to build a marketplace that supports sustainable farming operations and commerce.

Pickling salmon and halibut because:

b. My Swedish roots are calling
Thank you for the bounty, Southeast Alaska.

It’s a superb time of year to harvest bull kelp for many foods. Pickles and a verde enchilada sauce (not pictured) are my favorite, so far.

I was honored to be included in this very important conversation about black seaweed (Pyropia abbottiae), hosted by the Sealaska Heritage Institute. Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest are concerned for a critical resource: https://www.sealaskaheritage.org/node/1827

Dr. Catriona Hurd on Forensic Carbon Accounting: a framework for assessing the role of seaweeds in the uptake of atmospheric CO2. A big take home was that we need to better track the air-sea equilibrium after C fixation - that process could take 2-24 months! Listen here: https://tinyurl.com/2s4ha97h
