Seaweeds & Algae - Ocean Projects & Platforms
17 ocean projects and platforms working on seaweeds & algae across 11 countries.
Where are seaweeds & algae projects & platforms based?
Seaweeds & Algae Projects & Platforms
Wier & Wind
Netherlands · Seaweeds/Algae, Energy/Maritime
Wier & Wind was a Belgian-Dutch consortium project (2019-2022) that successfully demonstrated large-scale mechanized seaweed cultivation within North Sea offshore wind farms. Coordinated by North Sea Farmers with a EUR 3.4M EU-funded budget, it achieved the first automated offshore seaweed harvesting operation.
Algae for Food
Belgium · Seaweeds/Algae, Education/Policy
Algae for Food is a working group under EU4Algae focused on supporting the broader adoption of algae for food uses. It addresses food applications of algae, including nutrition, ingredients, supplements, food security, and health-related aspects.
World Ocean Initiative
England · Aquaculture/Fisheries, Carbon/Climate, Corals/Biodiversity, Data/Tech, Education/Policy, Energy/Maritime, Generalist, Mangroves/Coastal, Seaweeds/Algae, Waste/Pollution, Communities/Tourism
World Ocean Initiative is an ocean-focused programme of Economist Impact that supports the development of a sustainable ocean economy through research, convening and knowledge-building. It addresses ocean challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and inclusive blue-economy development.
Rumput Laut Indonesia
Indonesia · Seaweeds/Algae, Education/Policy
Rumput Laut Indonesia is an Indonesian seaweed information platform presented by Aren Foundation. It focuses on seaweed cultivation, processing, products, and market development in Indonesia.
I3-4-SEAWEED
Ireland · Seaweeds/Algae
I3-4-SEAWEED is an EU-funded interregional innovation project building a sustainable seaweed (macroalgae) value chain across European coastal regions. It supports SMEs through cascade funding and develops applications in food, biofertilizers and cosmetics.
Greener Grazing
Vietnam · Seaweeds/Algae, Aquaculture/Fisheries
Greener Grazing is a project developing scalable ocean-based farming of Asparagopsis taxiformis seaweed to reduce methane emissions from ruminant livestock. It combines seaweed cultivation R&D, hatchery and nursery development, and commercialization support for future growers.
ORA Reefs
New Zealand · Corals/Biodiversity, Seaweeds/Algae, Data/Tech
ORA Reefs is a marine restoration programme run by Ocean Regeneration Aotearoa that rebuilds reef biodiversity in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf by clearing kina (sea urchin) barrens, reseeding kelp forests, and reintroducing crayfish, scallops and artificial reefs. It funds this work through Adopt-A-Reef donations and Marine Nature Credits underpinned by drone, ROV and AI-based monitoring.
Combo
Ireland · Seaweeds/Algae, Data/Tech
COMBO is a marine biodiscovery project developing sustainable alternatives for the exploitation of marine bioresources, with applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It studies seaweeds, sponges and associated microbiota, and develops cultivation and bioinformatics tools for marine organism research.
