Southern Seagreens On The Bright Future of Seaweed

Forget what you know about slimy seaweed washing up ashore as seaweed is now the fastest growing food in aqua culture. 

Seaweed is in fact a nutritious superfood and a very clever and climate friendly plant with high carbon sequestering qualities. 

Helping me explore the potential of the seaweed sector is Cam Hines, who is Owner and Co-Founder of Southern Seagreens who run regenerative commercial seaweed farms in Flinders, Victoria. 

Southern Seagreens are growing sustainable seaweed for human consumption along with supporting marine ecosystems.

Cam runs the daily operations at Southern Seagreens and today we discuss how he moved from an entrepreneurial journey in craft beer to seaweed. We discuss how they grow and harvest seaweed plus behind the scenes details on the business from their lab, diving for wakame and what he believes the future looks like for this power plant.

You can learn more about Southern Seagreens and make a purchase via their website or connect with them via their Instagram.

I hope you enjoy the episode.
