Sustainable
Low impact
Wild harvesting of seaweed generally has minimal impact on marine ecosystems. Seaweed grows abundantly in many coastal areas and can regenerate quickly after harvesting.
No fertilisers or pesticides
Unlike land-based agriculture, seaweed farming does not require chemical inputs. This reduces pollution and environmental degradation.
No land degradation
Traditional agriculture can lead to soil degradation, deforestation, and habitat loss. Seaweed harvesting avoids these issues by utilising the ocean as a resource.
