The International Seaweed (Phycology) Conference was held in Ireland in 2008.
Doctors, Scientists and chefs all agree, it is worth taking a closer look at this gift from the sea!

Upon the reefs
Grows the algae thickly;
On the rocky shoreline,
Grows the jeweled seaweed;
Soft as jeweled seaweed
Trembling, lay my girl;
lush as thick green algae

a while fishing

a while giving food to the poor,
a while in a cell
