Kelp Week 2025 is celebrated from April 20 to May 1 in Connecticut.

This versatile type of seaweed is farmed right off Connecticut’s shoreline and used in a variety of cuisines, fertilizers, lotions, and more!

This hour, we’re joined by local kelp farmers and experts for a deep dive into aquaculture’s fastest growing industry. We’ll look at how chefs are using kelp in their favorite recipes and why seaweed is a powerful force against climate change.

GUESTS:

• Suzie Flores: co-owner of Stonington Kelp Co.
• Zachary Gordon:  Assistant Extension Educator, Connecticut Sea Grant
• Eric Dawson: Director of Program Innovation, Yellow Farmhouse
