Please join Osterville Village Library and Barnstable Land Trust for a program with Gil Newton, one of BLT's founders to learn about the importance of seaweeds. Commonly found along the Cape’s beaches, seaweed is frequently overlooked and misunderstood. How is seaweed important to animal life? What are the names of the different kinds of seaweeds? Are seaweeds plants? Are there any species that are invasive and can cause environmental problems? Which ones are edible or used in different industries? These questions and others will be answered in a presentation by ecologist and author Gil Newton. This event is free and open to the public but pre-registration is suggested. You can also check out the zoom options here.
