You can learn more about a seaweed project in a Campbell River open house this June.
Hosted by North Island College’s Centre for Applied Research, Technology and Innovation (CARTI), the open house will focus on the Seaweed Innovation Hub, a project where student researchers look at seaweed growth, processing, and marketing.
The goal of this hub is to help support the seaweed sector in BC, with a total of $1.2 million invested to it by the BC Government. This February, the federal government announced an extra $881,600 to the hub.
The college says the open house will include tours of the Seaweed Lab, seaweed art creation, and snacks for the public.
The open house is part of Ocean Week Campbell River, and it’ll run on June 4 from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the college’s Campbell River campus.
