Re: Advice sought for new (slightly unusual?) project

Thanks! ... more questions from a now squirming brain though... The guide I'm following suggests using natural seawater and replacing it weekly. Lugging 250kg of liquid into school every Monday morning sounds like a load of fun. And I'm worried about parasites, infection and contaminants. Would a 'r...

Thanks!!

I believe kelp is good up to 14C, and I can't imagine ambient temperature reaching thirty. :)

Advice sought for new (slightly unusual?) project

Dear all, I run a marine science club at my school. Kelp restoration has grabbed our attention. We want to cultivate kelp seedlings (sporelings?) - the students will cultivate the young kelp, and then I will transplant them to the sea with the help of my diving buddies. So, I need to source the appr...
