Acadian Seaplants Limited services

How we harvest seaweed is as important to sustainability as how much seaweed we harvest. The tools and techniques our Harvesters use enable the robust regrowth of intertidal seaweed stock in only a year and limit the impact on marine plants and their related ecosystems. Plus, we coordinate with Harvesters, sharing our comprehensive knowledge of seaweed stocks in our harvesting zones to ensure that they never overharvest any site, keep our eco-footprint minimal and work safely.

For almost forty years, Acadian Seaplants has embraced curiosity. As a result, we’ve helped to unlock the hidden capacity of natural seaweed resources, turning raw materials into world-changing biotechnology. Our collaboration with experts in the field of agriculture, animal feed, cosmetics, nutraceutical, consumer product goods, brewery and numerous other industries has moved the global yardstick of innovation forward. Want to learn more about our world-leading research and development? Here’s a glimpse at how we’re committed to a more sustainable future:

The importance of innovation is undeniable when you’re pioneering a whole new industry. Off-the-shelf seaweed processing equipment did not exist when we opened our doors and is still uncommon to this day. From our early days, we knew we would need to create the equipment, technologies, techniques and processes necessary to bring exceptional products, derived from nutrient-rich seaweed, to the world. And that we needed exceptional minds to do it.
