Sunrise Urchin (Uni) Foraging (Sonoma Coast)

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.

Class offered: Sat April 18th 6am (bring headlamps- pre dawn!) OR Sun April 19th 6:30am
