Wild Seaweed Walk – Discover the world of seaweed
Join us for a Wild Seaweed Experience and discover the fascinating world of seaweeds along the coast. During this excursion at low tide, we explore the intertidal zone and introduce you to different species of seaweed and their role in the marine ecosystem.
Seaweeds are remarkable organisms. Like plants, they transform inorganic substances into nutrient-rich organic matter that supports life in the ocean. They are packed with vitamins, minerals and trace elements and form an important foundation for marine ecosystems.
Respect for nature is central to this experience. You will learn how seaweed can be harvested carefully and sustainably, with the health of the sea and all its life as the main priority. It is not permitted to harvest seaweed in Zeeland. WildWier holds a licence to do so. The sea is seen as the most important stakeholder: when we take good care of the sea, the sea takes care of us.
Along the way, you’ll also get the chance to taste different types of wild seaweed and learn about their culinary and cultural uses. We finish the walk with a small culinary surprise, including vegetarian Wild Seaweed sushi.
