Nurturing the Ocean, Harvesting Opportunity
Sustainable Seaweed Farming
BWSFA cultivates seaweed as a way to reduce pressure on marine ecosystems while meeting the growing demand for this valuable resource. Our farms focus on two red algae species—Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheumatopsis isiformis—grown on submerged structures 21 miles away from the coast.
Training and Capacity Building
Beyond farming, BWSFA is committed to empowering women and youth through education and hands-on training in sustainable seaweed cultivation. These workshops help build skills, create livelihoods, and inspire the next generation of ocean stewards.
- Practical sessions in sustainable seaweed farming techniques
- Training that covers the full process from seeding to harvesting
- Focused support for women and youth in coastal communities
- Building long-term economic and environmental resilience
Through seaweed farming and training, BWSFA combines conservation with community development—supporting marine health while creating economic opportunities rooted in sustainability.
