Ecosystem Services
Making an Impact
Ecosystem services are more than just increasing biodiversity. The impact that global kelp forests have for the environment and people is in excess of 500 billion USD annually. We are using our extensive experience to further develop this work through continuous collaborations, to support and validate the services that seaweed provides.
High quality local seeds and proven outgrowth are an essential step to create a marine ecosystem
A Calculated Approach
Developing seaweed ecosystem services, like many emerging industries, demands a focused and strategic approach to drive progress. We see growing interest in supporting marine life by building seaweed ecosystems. By pursuing outcomes beyond just maximising yields, we unlock even more exciting potential. This requires expertise from various fields. Building strong partnerships is key to achieving success, and we are proud to be part of an expanding network dedicated to this mission.

As Hortimare, we are equipped to supply the starting material, across a broad range of species, to support these initiatives in their growth. The seeds are an essential part of the process to control, because without the predictably of quality, the performance and impact will fluctuate, meaning the validation of the impact will become more difficult.
We are exploring new partnerships to better control this chain and are well equipped to move quickly and further use our gene bank and experience.
