Kelp Hatchery Lead
Run Tidewright’s California Holdfast nursery: bull kelp gametophyte banking, seeding runs, and a small team with very clean tanks.
What you’ll do
- Own gametophyte collection, banking and line-seeding for the Mendocino and Catalina programs.
- Maintain nursery systems to food-grade cleanliness; run provenance records without gaps.
- Coordinate with field ops on seeding calendars and transport logistics.
- Train seasonal hatchery technicians; keep a culture of careful work.
What you’ll bring
- Hatchery or aquaculture systems experience; seaweed culture strongly preferred.
- Working knowledge of kelp life cycles and reproductive timing.
- Detail-obsessed record keeping; a nursery is a genealogy with plumbing.
