About Ocean Regenerative Aquaculture

Ocean Regenerative is a seaweed business that will cultivate, produce and sell products that replenish soils and stimulate plant growth and productivity. We are based in British Columbia, Canada and are working along its Pacific Ocean coastline in pristine ecosystems of cold, nutrient rich waters where some of the world’s strongest currents flow to form enriching habitats for over 640 species of seaweeds. Farming sea plants eliminates the need for arable land, fresh water, and chemical fertilizers. As global population grows, regenerative solutions must be employed to restore the environment, while providing nutritional requirements for humans, animals and plants. Seaweed efficiently absorbs carbon and other nutrients and produces oxygen. Seaweed forests also provide cover and shelter that is beneficial to other species and protects coastlines by buffering storm surges and sea rise. Ocean acidification is increasing as the marine environment absorbs CO2 and cycles it over time. One hectare of seaweed forest can absorb about 15 tonnes of carbon/year. However, seaweed has an annual lifecycle and unless it is harvested, most of the carbon taken-up is reabsorbed in the water column. Ocean Regenerative will disrupt the carbon-return cycle by using harvested seaweed to produce products that return carbon to soils where it can be sequestered and help restore carbon balance.
