Pacific Seaweed Industry Association
Seaweed is a vital part of our future, yet the voices of those driving the industry often remain fragmented across disciplines and regions.
About
Seaweed Stories is bridging these divides by spotlighting the people behind the global seaweed movement - capturing their experiences, challenges, and aspirations through a compelling, story-driven digital platform. This platform uses seaweed as an entry point to generating deeper connectivity across the broader ocean sector, forming the foundation of the larger project, Connected Ocean Voices. By amplifying diverse perspectives, it sparks collaboration, encourages new dialogue, and builds momentum toward sustainable ocean stewardship.
