Breeding Programs We strive to supply the right varieties to build a healthy business case for seaweed farming. Breeding programs are time-consuming and labor-intensive, but a proven way forward to build a healthy industry. Technical Support We have managed to successfully design, build and operate a variety of hatchery and nursery systems, proven to produce and deploy seed material across multiple seaweed species. Ecosystem Services Ecosystem services are more than just increasing biodiversity. The impact that global kelp forests have for the environment and people is in excess of 500 billion USD annually.
