Unlocking the Ocean's Potential

Creating compostable bioplastics from brown seaweed - marine-safe packaging solutions for a circular, green economy

70%

Earth's Oxygen

Marine algae, including seaweed, produce the majority of oxygen we breathe through photosynthesis in our oceans.

20x

Carbon Capture

Seaweed absorbs 20 times more CO₂ per acre than land forests, making it a powerful climate solution.

25%

Marine Life

Kelp forests support 25% of all marine species, creating underwater ecosystems as diverse as rainforests.

The Science of Seaweed

Discover the incredible world of marine algae and why seaweed is nature's most versatile superfood

What is Seaweed?

Seaweed, or marine algae, refers to thousands of species of macroscopic, multicellular marine algae. Unlike land plants, seaweed lacks true roots, stems, and leaves, but has evolved remarkable adaptations for marine life.

Key Characteristics:

  • • Photosynthetic marine organisms
  • • No vascular system like land plants
  • • Absorb nutrients directly from seawater
  • • Range from microscopic to 60+ meters long

Global Impact

Seaweed plays a crucial role in marine ecosystems and human society. It produces over 70% of Earth's oxygen and supports countless marine species while providing sustainable resources for humanity.

Three Main Types

Brown Algae (Phaeophyceae)

Includes kelp forests and rockweeds. Contains fucoxanthin pigment giving brown color.

Examples: Giant Kelp, Bladderwrack, Wakame

Red Algae (Rhodophyta)

Most diverse group with over 7,000 species. Contains phycoerythrin pigment.

Examples: Nori, Dulse, Irish Moss, Coralline Algae

Green Algae (Chlorophyta)

Closest relatives to land plants. Contain chlorophyll a and b.

Examples: Sea Lettuce, Codium, Ulva
