[Eric Sedletzky]

We got a local news paper article written about our operation!
Mark did a great job.

The Purple Urchin Removal Project is working to save coastal kelp forests one dive at a time

On the Sonoma coast, local volunteers spend their Sundays harvesting purple sea urchins, the scourge of the Pacific Coast kelp forest

Very good!

"these volunteers operate with no visible hierarchy other than those with more experience explaining to those with less experience what needs to be done."

It's like Attenborough describing a new species, how anti current world organisational is this ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

“I started removing urchins because there was really nothing else to do,” Eric Sedletzky said. “And it’s just kind of fun. It’s kind of addictive. It’s really like a cross of picking weeds and popping bubble wrap. You just can’t stop.”
