$1B seaweed industry in Australia by 2040

Ocean-shot goal: $1B seaweed industry in Australia by 2040 to protect our bays, oceans and reefs for the future.

By Jo Kelly

It's time to get bold and loud. It's time to get innovative and brave. It's time to come together to build new industries in Australia that regenerate the environment, provide good jobs for people and diversify our economy.

A Seaweed Industry is one of those rare opportunities to do all of these things. It sounds like a no brainer but there is a lot of work to do and many challenges to overcome to make this a reality at scale.

We are passionate about building climate change resilience through this blue economy initiative. Seaweed aquaculture is a real solution for regeneration of the marine environment, carbon capture, nitrogen removal while creating coastal jobs. Bioinnovation from native Australian seaweeds is a real opportunity to further reduce our environmental footprint through sustainable food production, animal feed that reduces methane emissions and bioplastics. Let's work together to make this happen.
