Manifesto
Undaria pinnatifida reached Golfo Nuevo in 1992, most likely in a ship’s ballast water. Today it can no longer be eradicated.
Where control sees an invader, we see a harvest. Taking it out of the water relieves the gulf floor, and every kilo becomes food, matter and work.
We harvest by hand what the ecosystem lets grow, leaving the young plants untouched. Air-dried, batch by batch, with a public folio.
