The presence of "invasive" species in marine ecosystems has significant ecological, socioeconomic, and culinary impacts. Sea urchins are a keystone species in the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏iterranean, but are considered invasive in the Norwegian Sea. “Surfing Spikes” aims to explore how human attitudes toward this seafood differ between regions and its role in imaginations of climate-conscious cuisines. In the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏iterranean, sea urchins are prized as a delicacy but face threats from climate change and overfishing. In contrast, their invasive status in the Norwegian Sea threatens the Blue Carbon Ecosystem. So, how does the classification of seafood as “invasive” influence its acceptance as a food? What is the threshold for invasiveness? Could calling a species “transformative” change how we see it (and if we eat it)? And is the sea urchin part of Norway's “new wild”?
