This protocol guides nursery technicians through the precise steps for safely shipping kelp gametophyte cultures between facilities. Following a direct, action-oriented approach, the document details proper sterile technique, materials needed, and specific packaging requirements to maintain culture viability during transit. The protocol addresses both small and large biomass shipments with clear instructions on culture handling, media preparation, and temperature control during shipping. By following these steps, nursery technicians can ensure cultures arrive in optimal condition for seeding purposes while maintaining proper documentation of culture maintenance.
