Farming that restores ecosystems
Regenerative ocean farming represents a shift from extractive practices to systems that actively improve marine health. Rather than depleting resources, these farms are designed to restore balance to ocean ecosystems.
Improving water quality
Seaweed absorbs excess nitrogen and phosphorus from surrounding waters, helping reduce eutrophication and improving overall water quality. This natural filtration supports healthier marine environments without technological intervention.
Supporting biodiversity
Ocean farms create three-dimensional underwater habitats that provide shelter and feeding grounds for fish, shellfish, and other marine life. These farms can function as biodiversity hotspots, strengthening local ecosystems.
The principles of regenerative aquaculture
-
No chemical inputs
-
Low-impact harvesting
-
Ecosystem-first design
-
Long-term ocean health as a success metric
Why this matters for KelpEat:
By sourcing ingredients from regenerative systems, KelpEat supports food production that contributes positively to ocean ecosystems instead of merely reducing harm.
