My dream, and Isha's dream, is that we figure out a way to make use of extremely efficient "energy harvesters" like algae, kelp, fungi, or anything else that can take a renewable energy source like the sun and convert it into calories.

Also, note that camouflage is relative: If you're going to be in open water, you'll want a rhapsody in blue, and if you're going to be in kelp, coral, or rocks, you probably want to look for a more greenish-brown pattern.

Kelp is nutritionally dense (it's loaded with potassium, iron, calcium, fiber, iodine and a bevy of vitamins); it actively benefits ocean health by mitigating excess carbon dioxide and nitrogen; and can provide needed income to small fisheries threatened by climate change and overfishing.

A plate strewn with green asparagus and herbs dressed with kelp oil and meant to be eaten without utensils was powdered with dried green strawberry dust, a testament to how impatient a chef can become with the season, finding use for underripe berries.

Aptly called an "immersive experience" — though you'll stay completely dry — this walk-through attraction recreates tide pools; a coral reef at midnight; a mazelike forest of giant kelp; and several encounters with ocean predators, including Humboldt squids, a thresher shark and humpback whales.

When they were nearly wiped out in the northern Pacific, their prey, sea urchins, ballooned in number and decimated kelp forests, turning a rich environment into a barren one and also possibly contributing to numerical extinctions, notably of the Steller's sea cow.

Outside the courthouse, we also went under the sea: Kendra Pierre-Louis wrote about how climate change has been good for California's "evil purple urchin," which has been very, very bad for kelp forests, which absorb carbon emissions and provide critical undersea habitat.

The main course showcased local reindeer two ways (tartare and made into hearty sausage), accompanied by strands of salty kelp harvested from the island's shoreline and microgreens provided by the island's sole greenhouse, a pink geodesic dome visible from the main road.

The other is a newer hypothesis known as the North Pacific Coast route, also called the Kelp Highway Hypothesis, in which America's first settlers arrived by hugging the coastline along southern Beringia and North America's west coast, no earlier than about 17,000 years ago.

This is mostly achieved with the help of the brand's signature Miracle Broth — the key ingredient, made from hand-harvested sea kelp, that's at the heart of every La Mer product (and one of the main reasons they come with such a hefty price tag).

|
Tens of millions of voracious purple sea urchins that have already chomped their way through towering underwater kelp forests in California are spreading north to Oregon, sending the delicate marine ecosystem off the shore into such disarray that other critical species are starving to death.

And we can't blame her: We too can attest that the mask does hold a lot of brightening power — thanks in part to its algae, hyaluronic acid, clay, and sea kelp that helps combat dry, dull skin — even if we didn't personally try it poolside.

Kelps in particular grow very quickly, and they're native to Puget Sound, so it seemed like a really good idea to test the hypothesis that kelp might be able to remove meaningful amounts of CO2 from the surrounding seawater through the process of photosynthesis.
|
|
Kelp behaves like an annual plant, and if you just leave it in the ocean, it will seasonally die back and the tissue will degrade, which means that the CO2 that's locked up in those tissues will just be re-released into the seawater.

As I dug into the resistant claws with spoon, skewer, and fingernail, I found myself marveling at the thought that Providence would probably have to double its tasting menu prices just to pay for the hours of prep that go into this red kelp crab.

Lately, the kitchen has served a lot of purple sea urchin, in part because there are tons of purple sea urchin in the waters off California — multiplying at a shocking rate, invading and decimating kelp forests and threatening the habitats of other sea creatures.

Before the first kelp farms started in Maine about a decade ago, if you wanted to cook with edible seaweed (not to be confused with the decidedly undelicious rockweed that washes up on beaches), you'd have go to the shore and forage it yourself.

Neither do the two desserts made with kelp, but none of them is as likable over the short term (and probably the long term, too) as the icy cloudberry soup with snowdrifts of frozen yogurt and tiny candied pine cones, as chewy as jelly beans.

Its glorious Great Barrier Reef is dying, its world-heritage rain forests are burning, its giant kelp forests have largely vanished, numerous towns have run out of water or are about to, and now the vast continent is burning on a scale never before seen.

Away, I'll cook camp food the way I think someone with my job ought to cook camp food, with canned duck confit and foie, lots of deep-frozen fancy sausages, good cheese, fresh mussels, kelp and blackberries for as far as the eyes can see.

One company, Urchinomics, is already working on urchin ranching projects in Japan, Canada and California and sees a future where the overwhelming demand for wild urchin roe is replaced by a taste for human-raised purple urchins collected from the seafloor, allowing kelp forests to rebound.

With its 104 locations from New York to Los Angeles, and with the support of restaurateur and chef David Chang, who helped develop the kelp bowl, Sweetgreen will give seaweed its biggest stage since the 2000s, when chefs began incorporating nori into dishes outside the sushi tradition.
|

The fisherman then opens a jar of bright orange paté, dips a spoon inside, and gives me a taste: it's as if sea urchins, oysters, and kelp jumped into a blender, fermented for a year, and formed the ultimate representation of the ocean in one concentrated bite.

Mr. Aitken has just finished designing and fabricating three mirrored "pavilions," flashy geometric structures that are to be suspended next month underwater in a kelp-rich marine preserve off the touristy town of Avalon on Catalina Island, which is about one hour by ferry from the mainland.

One woman from Wuhan, China, learned that lesson the hard way when she ended up with a thyroid problem after reading online that eating foods such as kelp and marine algae while trying to conceive can up the chances of having a boy baby, Mashable reports.

Dietary changes, too, hastened the demise: the contemporary consumer who is far more likely to thumb-tap an order for a Tingly Sweet Potato Kelp Bowl from Sweetgreen than to pull up to a Burger Heaven counter for the caloric depth charge that is a cheeseburger deluxe.

Guk-which-means-soup is a shimmering broth that Mr. Park, the chef, makes from fermented tomatoes and kelp; chilled and poured over scallop slices layered between slivers of green tomato that have been marinated in Korean fig vinegar, the broth has an electrifying sweet-sour balance.
