We held a special workshop on making seaweed specimens for elementary school kids as an event during their summer holidays. On the first day, July 20, we pressed samples of 30 species collected during our field surveys, including some edible species like Nori and Wakame. Next weekend, after fully drying the samples, we will have the second day of the workshop, making herbarium specimens to complete their own exsiccatae. This workshop was conducted with funding from KAKENHI, provided by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
