This project seeks to build a collaborative research network on Japanese Wireweed (Sargassum muticum) in B.C.’s nearshore ecosystem. Guided by knowledge sharing sessions with First Nations, local conservation groups, and other interested parties, small-scale research initiatives will be developed and piloted to help understand the impact of Japanese Wireweed in BC.
