19. Nutritional value of seaweeds Highly concentrate minerals and trace elements in surrounding seawater CAUTION: Similarly concentrate pollutants More minerals than any other food (including calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iodine, iron, zinc and many trace elements) Depends on species but some are very high in vitamins B, C, D Average 9% protein (nori is 30%, greater than soybeans)

20. Some species to remember Good stories for the beach… Eelgrass – important habitat for critters and spawning; food for first peoples Turkish washcloth/towel – laboratory medium, thickening agent Fucus – fun popping, moisturizing lotion Nori – sushi Kelp – fast-growing, food, pickles, soap, iodine Sargassum – non-native invasive

21. Seaweed harvesting techniques and regulations Asian markets, supermarkets, health food stores Go gathering Unpolluted gathering sites avoid turbid, muddy, smelly or oily places far from sewage outfalls Spring/early summer Open, rocky shores are best Boots, gloves, and a basket Have your license know what 10 pounds feels like or bring a hanging scale
