In the morning we shared our project ideas with Katie Fleming for feedback. We all got some really good advice that will help us further improve our ideas. Thank you Katie!

We then met with Kate Dobkowski at the docks to see her experiment on the competitive interaction between bull kelp and wire weed. We learned that kelp starts off as a microscopic critter then turns plant-like in it’s later stages of life.

After that we talked with Sandy WyllieEcheverria about eelgrass and then told us a poem. Isabella Brown showed us eelgrass that they were raising which had aquatic slugs that ate algae growing on the eelgrass.

We took cover from the rain and talked about the uses of sea grass indigenous culture such as dolls, hats, insulate, food. He also gave us some helpful career advice and inspiring philosophy as a finisher to our meetup.
