WHAT IS CASCADIA SEAWEED?
Cascadia Seaweed is a BC-based company founded in 2019 by three maritime professionals. The team believes in building a profitable and scalable business that enhances the natural environment and provides economic opportunity for rural and coastal communities.
WHY DOES CASCADIA SEAWEED DO WHAT THEY DO?

Ocean-cultivated seaweed requires no freshwater, fertilizers, pesticides, or arable land to grow. It utilizes nutrients from the sea, sequesters more carbon than land plants, mitigates acidification, creates habitat, and is renewable and fast growing. It is the definition of regenerative aquaculture and this new and burgeoning sector directly supports the development of Canada’s growing Blue Economy. 

Cascadia Seaweed is on a mission to improve human health, support coastal communities, and heal the Earth by cultivating seaweed in the ocean at scale.
