Re-wilding

The oceans

We plant kelp forests around the globe to boost the health of the oceans and lock away CO2. We harvest only the canopy of the kelp to produce sustainable products for agriculture, for textiles and pharmaceuticals. We do this at large scale, to have outsized positive impact.

Every year, humanity is using natural resources faster than our planet can renew them

Join us on our mission to enable sustainable industries, revitalise the health of the oceans, and leave the planet behind in a better place.

Why kelp

It is one of the fastest growing organisms on earth.
It creates habitats for many marine species.
It’s an amazingly efficient carbon sink.
It can be sustainably and repeatedly harvested for at least 7 years.
It provides valuable extracts including  hydrocolloids, polyphenols, phlorotannins, mannitol, fucoidans, & other bio-active compounds.
The beauty of kelp is that it requires:

Our Locations

Namibia

Namibia’s cold Benguela Currents off the coast of Luderitz are rich in nutrients and present the perfect conditions for growing macrocystis.

New Zealand

The Akaroa Bay test farm will help us develop best in class cultivation techniques and discover the benefits of macrocystis on the environment.

Alaska

Alaska’s clear cold waters are perfect for cultivating giant kelp and the state is poised to take a leadership position in mariculture.
