About this Event:
Join Frenchman Bay Conservancy, Maine Coast Sea Vegetable, and Heart of Ellsworth for a Seaweed Social at the Makerspace! Stop by to learn all about Downeast Maine’s seaweed harvesting industry through seaweed-themed small bites, activities, and a short film screening.
Be the first to see the third installment of Voices of Frenchman Bay with our exclusive film premiere at the Seaweed Social! The short film, produced by Frenchman Bay Conservancy, follows Maine Coast Sea Vegetables’ Seraphina Erhart and explores the intersection of conservation and seaweed harvesting in Downeast Maine.
Check out the listening booth to tune into From the Sea Up Podcast featuring Seraphina Erhart, the general manager of Maine Coast Sea Vegetables, an employee-owned company built on slow growth, high-quality seaweed products, and long-term relationships with wild harvesters. Produced by the Island Institute, the podcast is made possible by the Fund for Maine Islands and a partnership between the Island Institute, College of the Atlantic, Maine Sea Grant, and The First Coast/Galen Koch. Listen to the full episode and other episodes at islandinstitute.org/stories/podcast/.
Kick off your seaweed weekend with us in downtown Ellsworth! We hope to see you there.
