REFLECTION QUESTION

What coastal site did you visit and what did you learn while there?

The water is so much clearer in the winter months than in the summer due to the direct relationship between water temperature and seaweed growth. I also noticed that the waves are much cleaner in the winter this may be due to the increase in offshore winds. Also, even though the ocean temperature is in the low 40s, surfers are still very active in the water.

What recipe did you make and how did it turn out? Will you cook with seaweed again?

I bought some seaweed from ShopRite and added some to the miso soup I made. It resembled miso soup from the restaurant so I was very excited. I will definitely buy more seaweed and try a different recipe with it.
