“Curious World of Seaweed” now on display at the Grace Hudson Museum

MENDOCINO Co., 1/31/23 — The Grace Hudson Museum has opened a new exhibit on The Curious World of Seaweed, examining the importance of seaweed species throughout California’s underwater ecosystems with displays of the artist Josie Iselin’s artwork and research. Iselin, an ocean activist, will sign books at a reception with live music on Feb. 3.

The North Coast’s iconic bull kelp is among the seaweed species explored in Iselin’s work. Bull kelp populations have decreased dramatically in the past decade, and restoration specialists are working hard to bring the critical species back to our shores.
