It’s a scene right out of a movie—the Santa Barbara mountains glowing in the background, a sign warning of great white sharks to our left, and the sea shimmering in front of us as commercial fisherman Stephanie Mutz pulls into the marina. Her boat deck is piled high with nets of red sea urchins, their spiky arms gently moving as they’re carefully lifted from the boat.

If you’ve never heard of uni, today’s podcast will take you into a world you didn’t even know existed—an industry where divers harvest these spiny treasures from the ocean floor, destined for the plates of the world’s best chefs. 

Tune in to hear why Santa Barbara uni is considered the best in the world, what it’s really like to make a living beneath the waves, and how Stephanie is redefining what it means to be a steward of the sea.
