After having spent 12 hours raking moss, Carl Doucette and his son Clint spread the Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus) on the lawn to dry with the hopes of selling it next year. The Irish Moss industry in Prince Edward island, Canada has been in decline for years, but with the emergence of new markets for the seaweed, there might be new hope for the few remaining mossers on the island. Irish Moss is harvested for its' carrageenan, an extract that is used as a stabilizing agent in many food products.
