Zoom Talk: Phycomania, Victorian Seaweed Collectors

Wednesday 11 May 2022 14:30 - 15:30

A FREE online Zoom Talk with Ed Dolphin

Local doctor, Theodore Mogridge claimed to have found over 100 different seaweeds on our coast. Apart from being a fundamental component of our biodiversity and even survival, the world of seaweed has a Victorian lady scientist equivalent to Ada Lovelace and Mary Anning, her name was Amelia Griffiths, and she lived in Ottery for many years.
