Julia Lohmann founded the Department of Seaweed in 2013, which brings together experts in design, science, and craft to experiment with the fabrication processes and material properties of seaweed.

Floating seaweed can travel long distances to new territories and accumulate in large mats or wash ashore in huge quantities.
