Seaforest As - farming in Harøya (mid-Norway) - is harvesting its largest kelp crop to date! 💪

We have been monitoring at the farm, and observed a consistent good growth and quality along the whole farm. This Sugar Kelp (Saccharina latissima) will later become an ingredient in delicious food products 🤩

Seaweed Solutions has been seed supplier and operational support, both at sea and processing. We appreciate this long close collaboration.

The Sugarkelp is looking good under the Winter sun! 🌞

The days are now getting longer and longer. The increase in sunlight drives the rapid growth of the kelp, towards the harvest in late-Spring. Entering this growth phase with such large blade area, allows the kelps to effectively capture that light!

Insights like these - from our R&D sea farms in Frøya - form the foundation 🌱 for improving the quality of the seeds we deliver and 💡to the technical advice we give to our seed customers - helping them to archive better results out at their sea farm 🌊

Exciting times ahead! 🤩

Our R&D seafarms got another colour this season: the vibrant green of the Sea lettuce (Ulva spp.) 🙂

We are diversifying on the farmed seaweed species, through a valuable collaboration with Nordic SeaFarm. We did the first deployment of Sea lettuce seedlings this Autumn, in our R&D seafarms in (Norway) and together with Seaforest As at their seafarm in Harøya (Norway). The seeds originate from local parents, which have been grown by Nordic Seafarm, who has extensive experience in cultivating Ulva spp.. The substrate was then seeded and incubated in our Nursery.
We look forward to the Ulva harvest in May 🙂

Green Gravel or Golden Gravel? 😀

Green gravel is one of the techniques applied in kelp forest restoration. These stones - seeded with local Sugarkelp (Saccharina latissima) - has just been deployed in the Oslofjord by Marea 😀

Kelp forests are extremely important ecosystems, and we can find them in most of our coastlines. These underwater forests provide nursery, shelter and feeding grounds for marine mammals, fishes and invertebrates. Kelp - being algae and doing photosynthesis - takes important part on keeping the balance of the nutrients dissolved in the seawater: absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon (among others) to grow, and releasing oxygen to its environment.

Sadly, the area of kelp forests in our coastlines is in critical decline. This decline has been mainly caused - directly and indirectly - by human activities, such as increase in sea temperature, pollution and land runoff, coastal development, overfishing causing ecological unbalance, among others. In particular, the Oslofjord’s underwater ecosystem is dramatically damaged, and the natural kelp forest area critically low.

The TAREGUS Project aims to restore these underwater forests in the Fjord, by applying the Green Gravel technique in the Oslofjord. It is lead by MAREA, supported by Seaweed Solutions and SeaForester.

Don’t blink, or we will miss these seedlings growing up at the farm! :)

These are pictures were just taken at our R&D farms in Frøya, including Sugarkelp (Saccharina latissima) and Sea Lettuce (Ulva spp.). The Sea Lettuce has been seeded and deployed in colaboration with .

The Kelp Seeding season has started in the North. Some of our Seed Customers will soon be receiving small seedlings (sporophytes) for Direct Seeding. Some will be receiving larger seedlings already holding onto a substrate (twine rope, in the picture). Anyway, we bet all of them are looking forward for the time deploying at the sea farm to start 💙

“Will Algae save us?” - a provocative title for the research by this much-neglected topic of our local resources. The journalist and the photojournalist visited us in Trondheim and Frøya - in Norway -, resulting in an article that not only reminds us of the importance of kelps and their economic potential, but also critically questions if the expectations about this fascinating resource are exaggerated.

The photos very well portrait - subjectively - what we are doing: We carry these kelps with care; We elevate them with persistence; We make positive impact, based on scientific knowledge!

“Retten uns die Algen?” - mit diesem provokanten Titel nimmt die Süddeutsche Zeitung im Magazin ein sträflich vernachlässigtes Thema unserer heimischen Ressourcen unter die Lupe. Aus dem Besuch des Reporter-Teams - und - bei uns in Trondheim und Frøya in Norwegen wurde ein kritisch hinterfragender Artikel, der sowohl an die Wichtigkeit der Algen und ihre Möglichkeiten für die Wirtschaft erinnert, aber auch kritisch hinterfragt inwieweit einige Erwartungen an diese faszinierende Bio-Ressource überzogen sind.

Wir halten diese Braunalgen vorsichtig in unseren Händen und verbessern ihre Qualität kontinuierlich. Wissenschaftliche Arbeit mit dem Ziel Dinge zu verbessern - diese Fotos veranschaulichen sehr gut unsere Mission!
