KALY meets Hortimare
Earlier this month our resident man of the seas, Iain hosted Petra Steenhoek for a trip off the Skye coasts to collect seaweed samples.
Petra works for Dutch company Hortimare, specialists in the cultivation of seawee d spores. It is incredibly important to only farm seaweed species native to the area and by cultivating spores actually found in our bays, we ensure that we do not accidentally introduce invasive species to the local ecology.
