NEW 2024 publication! (OPEN ACCESS)
New peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology by MRC senior scientist and three others is a critique of the 2023 paper concluding that rockweed grows back rapidly, a year after commercial harvest.
Dr. Ken Ross (1937 – March 6, 2024). Founding board member. Plaintiff in the landmark Ross v Acadian Seaplants case, which resulted in landowners having the legal right to deny rockweed harvesters access to the rockweed on their intertidal property. We remember Ken with gratitude and affection.
