- Optimize energy efficiency using recycling heat and water drying processes.
Promote Regenerative Marine Cultivation
- Expand seaweed afforestation projects to enhance carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and marine ecosystem health.
- Support sustainable wild harvesting by federating Irish seaweed harvesters under eco-friendly guidelines.
Advance Research on Seaweed Bioactives for Global Health
Seaweed is gaining significant attention in scientific research due to its rich bioactive compounds that contribute to various health benefits.
Global demand for seaweed bioactives are being explored for their potential in nutrition, medicine, and biotechnology.
Vision for Biodiversity
A thriving planet where biodiversity flourishes, ecosystems are resilient, and human activities harmonize with nature. Through collaboration, conservation, and responsible stewardship, we can create a world where biodiversity is not just sustained but regenerated for generations to come.
Key Highlights
Carbon Sequestration in Aquaculture
Aquaculture, particularly seaweed and shellfish farming, plays a vital role in carbon sequestration by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere and oceans. This helps mitigate climate change and supports marine ecosystem health.
- Seaweed Farming
Macroalgae like kelp and other seaweeds absorb CO₂ during photosynthesis, reducing ocean acidification and storing carbon in biomass.
- Shellfish Cultivation
Oysters, mussels, and clams incorporate carbon into their calcium carbonate shells, which can remain in sediments for centuries.
- Sediment Storage
Some aquaculture systems trap organic carbon in sediments, preventing it from re-entering the carbon cycle.
- Coastal Habitat Restoration
Integrating aquaculture with mangroves and seagrasses enhances carbon storage by preserving natural carbon sinks.
Our dedicated staff brings passion and experience to building partnerships, pioneering actionable science & developing the future scientific knowledge to the end user.
