It's a special time of year in the waters off eastern Long Island, filled with sugar kelp ready for harvest by a group of indigenous women. GusoffTV reports.
"I feel like we are making an impact for the next seven generations, as we have been taught to do," Danielle Hospon Begun said."Everyone wins with sugar kelp... . The environment wins, the community wins, green jobs."
"It's very difficult. It's labor intensive, but very restorative, not only to our bays but as someone out there doing it, it's very serene and beautiful process," Shinnecock Kelp Farmers Director Tela Troge said. And now the kelp wll be dried for a week, ready to be sold at the farmers markets, to be used as a soil amendment to fertilize the native way.
