Curious about foraging for your own food? Want to try fresh uni that you can harvest yourself? Want to learn about the population dynamics of the coast we live and depend on? Come join our Purple Sea Urchin virtual workshop! We will learn about intertidal ecology, the native-invasive takeover of the purple sea urchin following the decline of the Sunflower Sea Star, and learn how to follow state regulations, look at tide charts, and process the urchins to eat in a couple different ways!
