Friends and I from the Central Valley of California are going to attend some of the events during the November Mushroom & wine festival in Mendocino County. There are plenty of advertized hands-on fungi opportunities.

What I would like help with is getting some hands-on experience with Mendocino's world-class sea vegetable harvesting {seaweed generically). I know the big minus tides of the Spring and Fall are the peak opportunities, but this is the time we have and I am hoping this means some of the experts will have time to give some rookies an intro.

I have emailed a couple of the small companies who do the sea vegetable thing commercially for recommendations.

Anybody into this or have a contact?

Thanks.

Some feedback from locals suggests waiting until May or June to better preserve sea vegetable resources.
