Aquaculture: It's Not Just for Shellfish
Chatham Kelp is growing seaweed to satisfy culinary cravings and help preserve the maritime culture
Motoring out into Nantucket Sound from Stage Harbor in Chatham on a brisk, windy, but cloudless spring day, Chatham Kelp co-founder Jamie Bassett issues safety tips to the two visitors on board the 18-foot Carolina skiff. Chief among them: stay seated. There’s little chance of a mutiny. Cori Egan is focused on protecting her camera lenses and I struggle in vain to keep my notebook dry as swells that weren’t apparent from the shore smack into and over the side of the boat.
