SHARING OUR OCEANS
Enabling Co-existence: Integrating Restoration with Operations
SeaGrown champions a collaborative approach, enabling sustainable seaweed cultivation to thrive alongside all marine users – from leisure to tourism to the largest offshore installations fuelling our transition to net zero. We facilitate the seamless integration of environmental restoration with economic activity, offering an exciting and proven nature-positive pathway for industries needing to compensate for their operational footprint.
The Kelpedo™ system is specifically engineered for effective co-location and nature-based compensation. Its tried and tested design features, low surface profile, and robust mooring minimise operational interference. Kelpedos can be deployed within offshore wind farms to enhance biodiversity post-construction, near ports and estuaries to mitigate nutrient loads, or alongside other activities as part of a comprehensive environmental strategy. This compatibility allows us to deliver verifiable environmental benefits – carbon capture, biodiversity uplift, and water quality improvement – directly within your operational footprint.
Verifiable Environmental Benefits
Our claims are backed by continuous scientific monitoring. We provide our partners with clear, evidence-based results demonstrating a real, positive impact directly within their operational footprint.
- A Hub for Marine Biodiversity: Our cultivation sites are proven to create thriving new habitats, supporting over 55 different marine species.
- A Proven Kittiwake Hotspot: Our site is a safe and vital feeding ground for this protected species, attracting over twice as many seabirds as surrounding areas with zero observed entanglements.
- Cleaner, Healthier Seas: Our kelp actively cleans the water by absorbing excess nutrients, helping to mitigate the effects of coastal pollution.
