Foraging Wild Sea Urchin (Uni) to Restore Balance
Location not specified yet**Register here, NOT on Meetup: https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule**
Save Kelp, Eat Urchin!
Join us at sunrise for a sea urchin foraging class, where we will help remove some of the overgrown sea urchin population - so we can eat it! We will teach you how to open and enjoy this incredible delicacy. You may have heard it called “uni” in a sushi restaurant, but it’s SO much tastier when it’s fresh. Take home up to 35 urchin - if you can carry that much! Learn how humans can be a helping hand to restore balance to ecosystems impacted by climate change.August 13, 5:30am-7am
Sonoma Coast, California
All registrations must be completed on our website here#### What You Will Learn
We're thrilled to bring you to the ocean to forage for sea urchins on the gorgeous Sonoma Coast.
This 3-hour class is all about sea urchins or uni, as you may have heard it called in a sushi restaurant. Learn where they live, what they eat, and who eats them...but more specifically, who hasn't been eating them and how that has impacted our kelp forests, and how humans eating them actually lends a helping hand to bringing our intertidal zone back into balance!
Take home up to 35 urchins. You'll have a deeper understanding of how some of our ocean habitats are the first major biomes to experience sudden collapse due to a rapidly changing climate, and how we can mitigate the damage.#### Where
A beach in Northern Sonoma, about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco. Exact location provided with registration.

Learn how to identify, use, and sustainably harvest the bountiful seaweeds. Harvest up to 10 lbs of seaweed to take home and enjoy.

We will gather on the beach, review some common edible species, and head to where the sea meets shore to access and appreciate the abundant marine meadow growing on our coast.
