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.
