I had never heard of this lady, her discovery, or how important it was to the sushi industry.

I also had no idea that Welsh seaweed was more or less the same thing as nori. Is the main difference the fact that nori is dried?

How I’m turning #seaweed into #biofuel for #cars on #Barbados
Mechanical engineer Legena Henry converts sargassum and rum-distillery waste water to produce sustainable #naturalgas for vehicles.
