Quote:  “I do think the story of this Hercules plant, operating for a relatively free period 1916-18 is an interesting one because it is really is a first effort to develop industry in San Diego…I think that’s an impressive thing that they discovered that kelp had this way of providing supports for industrial development and those people who are doing that really deserve more recognition and more study than we’ve given them.”
