Coastal Connections - Episode 8 - Sustainability Through Seaweed by Coastal Routes Radio published on 2022-02-02T13:56:30Z Throughout Coastal Connections, we’ve seen a number of examples of humans working together to restore and steward natural systems that have come out of balance. In this episode, we dive into a number of stories from a seaweed inspired individual in PEI. Dr. Irené Novaczek is a benthic ecologist, gardener, professor and entrepreneur, just to name a few of her titles. Dr. Novaczek discusses her diverse journey building community resiliency, through innovative entrepreneurship and maximizing socio- ecological relationships. This episode is co- hosted by Dr. Kelly Vodden, a professor and researcher of community development and rural resiliency at Grenfell campus, Memorial University. • Social enterprise in Canada http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/053.nsf/eng/h_00006.html • Social enterprise at MUN https://www.mun.ca/social-enterprise/ Irene’s Work: • Oceanna Seaplants: https://bit.ly/OceannaSeaplants • Sea Vegetable of the Pacific Islands Cookbook- https://bit.ly/SeaweedCookBook • Lettuce of the sea article: http://saltyisland.com/lettuce-of-the-sea/ • Learn more about saving seeds: http://www.seedsecurity.ca/en/programs/save PEI farmers markets: o https://summersidefarmersmarket.com o https://charlottetownfarmersmarket.com/portfolio/kettlegrove-soapworks/ Basin Head Provincial Park, PEI • https://welcomepei.com/beaches/basin-head-beach/ • Irish Moss in Basin Head- CBC News Article https://bit.ly/CBCIrishMoss PEI Watershed Alliance • https://www.facebook.com/pg/PEIWatershedAlliance/posts/ Irene’s Colleagues and Friends: Thierry Chopin on the idea of co-cultivating multiple species together, or Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) • https://bit.ly/SeaweedAndSalmon • ‘Networking Friday with Thierry Chopin’ https://bit.ly/ThierryChopin • Seaweeds and Parkinsons Article- https://bit.ly/SeaweedAndParkinsons Theresa Doyle and Rock Barra Retreat - https://www.teresadoyle.com/rock-barra-retreat/ Special Credits: Script Design by Emily Doyle, Post Doctoral Fellow, Rural Resilience, MUN https://ruralresilience.ca/researchers/postdoctoral-researchers/emily-doyle/ We love to hear your feedback.
