Redmond talks to Press Herald about Seaweed Festival

Sarah Redmond, a marine extension associate with the Maine Sea Grant College Program at the University of Maine, spoke with the Portland Press Herald about the Maine Seaweed Festival to be held Aug. 29 in South Portland. Event organizers, including Redmond, held the first festival last year and hoped for a decent turnout, according to the article. About 1,500 people attended to learn more about and sample different varieties of seaweed, the article states. Redmond said the event was “a remembering of what we have right here in our own backyards.” WLBZ (Channel 2) also advanced the festival.
