Sea Veggies by Rebecca Baugniet, Eat Magazine
Dakini Tidal Wilds is featured in Eat Magazine along with Westcoast Seaweed and Outer Coast Seaweeds in the March/April 2012 issue.
"Drying Seaweed [Amanda Swinimer] explains, is an art form."
"Swinimer, Carey and Bernard all encourage wild harvesting of seaweed, but each one stresses that some knowledge of algae physiology is crucial to sustainable harvesting. In addition, you want to be sure you are harvesting from uncontaminated water. Both Outer Coast Seaweeds and Dakini Tidal Wilds offer educational tours and seminars."
