The most important part of the business is seaweed. Therefore we need to make sure we run our business with this as the leading principle. Seaweeds require ample time to regenerate after their blades have been harvested. There is a lot of research going on about the growth and recovery rates of wild and farmed seaweed. Environmental authorities who regulate wild harvesting have to make sure the wild stock is not being over exploited.
Our business in based in Bridport, an area of Dorset that is very supportive of local businesses. We firmly believe that the future we all want is based on mutual cooperation.
In terms of seaweed, this can be done by sharing useful data between businesses. Our ambition is to build a hub of individuals & businesses who are interested in developing the seaweed industry in the UK.
As each season passes, we gain more knowledge and expertise. However, since the environment is rapidly changing, it is ever more important to focus on how humans can step up their efforts. We are always looking to surround ourselves by experienced individuals who want to make a difference, from microbiologists to product designers.
Each aspect of our business is considered for its sustainability credentials. We look to source local materials where possible, and buy from certified suppliers.
