Scottish Seaweed Industry Association

We had a fantastic turnout at our WiSA breakfast at this year's SSIA conference. The sector has a fascinating history of women working with seaweed, from traditional medicines to food, it is wonderful to see so many women active and engaged in this innovative industry. #women #aquaculture #seaweed #algae #blueeconomy

Interested in knowing more about sustainable harvesting by Horizon Seaweed? https://lnkd.in/efmcmEaS Our latest blog at www.horizonseaweed.com covers what goes into each harvest. We start with explaining the planning required across the team, factoring in tides, weather and seasonality of different species. Best laid plans go awry of course and our harvesters need to react to conditions on the shore. Seaweed is cut by hand and carried back up to the roadside, minimising impact. This blog was authored by David Lewis - our expert in all things seaweed in Caithness. He's on top of species, sites and seasons. What Dave doesn't know about harvesting and processing isn't worth knowing! #seaweed #harvest #wild #sustainable #organic #insight
