Seaweed Harvest and Education Tours
This 3 hour guided morning foray will meet on a beach in Sonoma County, followed by a talk on the ecology of seaweed, and how to cook your harvest. You can expect to collect up to 10 lbs. of edible seaweed. This is a DIY forage on the Sonoma Coast during low tide. You won't need to get in the ocean but wearing rain boots is recommended. Tours start in the early-morning due to unique tidal access. Group size is 20 people max. $125 (including fees)
