ALL THAT IS WILD AND EDIBLE…
Many of us are familiar with foraging for edible plants and useful materials in the bush. Now, a new book by Tasmanian author, Rees Campbell, who wrote Eat More Wild Tasmanian, takes foraging onto our seashores.

Rees’ book focuses on identifying and processing seaweeds for food. It joins a slew of other seashore guide books that would be useful additions to any beachcomber’s library.

This review takes a look at the growing library of identification guides for Tasmanian foragers.

Huge day collecting tissue samples for a traditional #bushfoods project on #microplastics in #fish: a #collaboration between #AdriftLab, DPIRD & #EsperanceTjaljtraak #IndigenousRangers. Our dedicated team started at 6am and volunteered for another early start tomorrow! 🐟♻️💙 #BlackBream #mullet #TraditionalFoods #TeamWork #IndigenousInSTEM @SeabirdSentinel

Could we see more Indigenous foods in our diet as the climate changes?
As climate changes, researchers are advising farmers to grow bush foods to improve drought resistance
