Marine Herbarium Press Kit
A quality Australian Made Marine Herbarium Press. Made in the traditional style, slatted or 'wet' presses have been utilised for centuries to study endemic marine seaweed specimens and track the migration of weeds to warmer waters due to climate change. Women pioneers have been at the forefront of this study since its inception. It is an important tradition to continue, as the presses of today are living diaries for tomorrow, that can be scientifically DNA sequenced and become study tools for centuries to come.
