The documentary series Hope in the Water continues with its third episode, “Changing the Menu,” airing on PBS on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 9:00 p.m. The episode features California native Shailene Woodley, who joins a unique team of divers on a mission to transform barren “zombie” urchins into a food source.
A group of divers are revolutionizing the way we think about food. By harvesting “zombie” urchins, which are barren and contribute to the destruction of kelp forests, they aim to create a sustainable food option while also restoring the balance of the ocean ecosystem.
It’s an innovative approach to using a resource that is in abundance but often overlooked. By exploring this alternative food source, the divers are not only providing a unique culinary experience but also contributing to the protection and regeneration of the ocean’s precious resources.
Hope in the Water presents a compelling argument for rethinking our relationship with the ocean and the potential for innovative solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
Hope in the Water: Changing the Menu airs Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 9:00 p.m. on PBS.
