Maine's intertidal rockweed is the target: conservation, lawsuits, "sustainability"

In February, we are joined by Dr. Robin Hadlock Seeley of the Maine Rockweed Coalition who will share her knowledge on conserving the intertidal and taking legal action to protect it from rockweed harvesters.

This event is open to the public!
