Living in the coastal village of Bamfield, B.C., Canada, Louis Druehl is the editor of The New Bamfielder, and is best known for his passion for seaweeds. A professor of marine botany at Simon Fraser University for 36 years, Louis conducted kelp research at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, which he was instrumental in establishing in 1968. His immense contributions to kelp research earned him the honour of having a diatom genus and a kelp species named after him. The revised issue (with Bridgette Clarkson) of his best-selling book Pacific Seaweeds Updated and Expanded has won numerous awards.

A Professor Emeritus from SFU, he is continuing to support kelp research as well as harvesting and exporting seaweed products globally with his wife Rae Hopkins.

Louis turned to serious, non-scientific writing after his retirement in 2000. His first novel, Cedar, Salmon and Weed, has earned a place on BC Book’s Map of Literary Fiction.

“An engaging tale and a must read for those who are drawn to the dark and stormy shores of Vancouver Island’s remote west coast, where Mother Nature rules and survival depends on a community of individuals.” —Clayton Evans Author, Rescue at Sea: An International History of Lifesaving, Coastal Rescue Craft and Organizations Mariner and Past Chair of the Maritime Museum of British Columbia “A hilarious sensual romp from wartime Britain to the wilds of Canada’s west coast. In luscious detail, Louis Druehl brings the his- tory of the fictionalized (but very real) coastal village of Bamfield to life with the story of war bride Molly Stanford and her encounters with a host of quirky characters. His descriptions of the natural world, both on land and in the sea, are fabulous. A fun read.” —Ann Eriksson Author of The Performance and High Clear Bell of Morning
