This article from The Nature Conservancy on the #environmental benefits of #seaweedfarming is full of important insights. We're sharing it for anyone who didn't have the opportunity to read it when published earlier this year. https://bit.ly/47u06qY "Seaweed aquaculture isn’t just an important source of jobs in coastal communities – it also bolsters biodiversity, improves water quality." Julie Robinson - Belize Program Director at The Nature Conservancy "In addition to providing important environmental outcomes, there are other ways that farmed #seaweed can move us closer to net zero emissions. For one, seaweed is one of our lowest impact foods. While global food production accounts for 80% of land degradation, 70% of freshwater use, and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions, seaweed requires no land or freshwater to grow, and emits negligible greenhouse gases in the growing stages." MarinElixirs' technology-focused, #sustainable seaweed cultivation practices enable scalability and consistency of quality while providing jobs to fisherfolk in the coastal communities where we operate. Our #ecofriendly #seaweed products help move the needle on #decarbonization. Message us to learn more about what we do. We'd love to hear from you!

We have a lot to feel good about at MarinElixirs: 🌊 Our red #seaweed is carefully cultivated, not harvested — an important distinction for #sustainability, scalability, and quality consistency. Over-harvesting of seaweed can disrupt delicate #ecosystems and harm the species that rely upon kelp forests for food and shelter. 🌱 MarinElixirs all-natural seaweed #biostimulants help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers by improving soil, strengthening crop health, and boosting yield — resulting in more #sustainablefarming and less chemical runoff into our oceans. 👓 Our proprietary sensor platform and innovative, science-based approach to #seaweedcultivation enable better condition monitoring and predictive crop insights. Better data and insights mean consistently superior quality, yield, and scalable production. Case in point? — over 1,000 tons of shipped product to industry-leading, satisfied customers! Message us to learn more about our #ecofriendly, #organic seaweed extracts and biostimulants. #Aquaculture

The Stockholm Resilience Centre represented the Sustainable Development Goals in the layered form of a wedding cake. Unusual? Perhaps – but this visualization highlights how all SDGs build on the health and sustainability of our planet. All goals are important, but they should build on the foundation of a healthy planet 🌿 So let’s take a deep dive into the base tier of the world’s wedding cake. For a strong bottom layer, we need to consider Life on land, Life below water, Climate action, and Clean water and sanitation. Now let’s add in some seaweed flavour into the cake mix and see what happens 👇 #Seaweed #Sustainability #SDGs #Impact

This article by John W. Hart, Associate Editor at Farm Progress highlights the importance of developing a regulatory framework to increase the use of #biostimulants in farming. #Climatechange as evidenced by the warming of ocean waters and record-setting extreme weather underscores the need for #sustainablefarming and protecting our #environment. A federal definition of biostimulants and regulatory guidelines will help. https://bit.ly/3AbegAH "In a June 20 webinar on the regulatory landscape surrounding biostimulants, sponsored by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, Keith Jones, executive director of the Washington-D.C. based Biological Products Industry Alliance, explained that draft legislation titled the “Plant Biostimulant Act” was introduced in both the 117th and 118th Congresses with bipartisan support with the goal of including provisions of the bill in the next farm bill. Jones explained that the purpose of introducing the legislation was not to pass a standalone bill but to raise awareness in Congress so language on biostimulants would be included. Jones said key provisions of the measure would amend FIFRA (the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) to provide an actual federal definition of plant biostimulants and specifically exclude them from being regulated under FIFRA." #Seaweed #Ecofriendly

"Scientists warn that 24 billion tons of fertile soil is being lost per year, largely due to unsustainable agriculture practices." Degraded soil "does not retain water as effectively, making us vulnerable to climate shocks such as droughts, wildfires, and water shortages." #Biostimulants help mitigate #soildegradation by enhancing water retention and protecting against #soilerosion and nutrient run-off. And did we mention...biostimulants also lessen the need for chemical fertilizers?

How do #biostimulants and fertilizers work together? Biostimulants enhance and stimulate a plant’s innate ability to absorb nutrients, manage stress, and grow. #Fertilizers promote plant growth by supplying essential nutrients. When used together in an integrated approach to plant care and nutrition, fertilizer application rates can be reduced while yields are maintained. MarinElixirs' #seaweedbiostimulants are an #environmentallyfriendly way to reduce the need for synthetic chemicals and fertilizers. https://marinelixirs.us/ #NewBlueEconomy #Seaweed #SeaweedCultivation #Ecofriendly #Sustainable #Organic

We always appreciate seeing the many impactful benefits and tremendous potential of #seaweed #aquaculture being highlighted. Expert industry voices and investors like Adam Bergman and SeaAhead are critical to the continued growth of new seaweed companies and the #blueeconomy. "Seaweed appears to have huge benefits in a variety of products, and we should be encouraging more production of seaweed in the US and globally. This would improve animal and human health, boost agricultural production, reduce carbon dioxide and methane and help restore strength to our oceans." #SeaweedCultivation #NewBlueEconomy #Ecofriendly #Sustainable #ClimateChange #FoodSecurity #Biostimulants #Nutraceuticals https://lnkd.in/esvPNKwy

I enjoyed the recent The Wall Street Journal “Future of Everything” podcast “Why You Might Be Eating More Seaweed in the Future,” which discussed how seaweed can solve a myriad of problems. According to the podcast, seaweed can not only feed people, it can also restore polluted habitats and be an economic boost for fishermen. Although seaweed aquaculture has grown in the US in recent years, it harvested less than 1% of the global seaweed crop in 2019, with 80% produced in China and Indonesia, according to The Nature Conservancy. Now, some companies are trying to expand #seaweed aquaculture in the US, but there are regulatory hurdles to overcome, and researchers have questions about how a larger-scale industry would affect existing ecosystems. You may be familiar with seaweed as an ingredient in sushi, or as a snack in your kid’s lunchbox. However, People are starting to talk about seaweed as a potential superfood, the “new kale,” which could have a substantial impact on improving human health. Its health benefits are derived from: iodine and tyrosine, which support thyroid function; key vitamins and minerals riboflavin, thiamin, manganese, and copper; a variety of protective antioxidants; and fiber and polysaccharides that can support gut health. Additionally, over the past decade, I have witnessed the significant growth of seaweed in a variety of agricultural products including: an ingredient in animal feed to reduce methane emissions from cows; and a biofertilizer as a chemical fertilizer replacement. Seaweed has environmental advantages as well. As it grows, seaweed absorbs nitrogen from the water, an element known to contribute to the growth of algae blooms that gobble up oxygen, creating “dead zones” where other aquatic life cannot survive. Seaweed can also bolster biodiversity by providing food and habitats for marine species, and it may even be able to offset localized effects of ocean acidification, which is particularly valuable in areas with coral reefs. Seaweed appears to have huge benefits in a variety of products, and we should be encouraging more production of seaweed in the US and globally. This would improve animal and human health, boost agricultural production, reduce carbon dioxide and methane and help restore strength to our oceans.

Although efforts around reducing the use of #plasticbags have increased, they continue to be a massive problem for our planet. Each year, 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean harming fish and wildlife. When plastic enters the food chain, it can also harm human health.
