Seaweed farming is possible, profitable and urgent.

We’re proving it from Chile: from spore to sea, with our own seed and coastal communities who farm alongside us.

Our technologies

We built this regenerative economic development model on three core pillars.

One crop that regenerates the ecosystem, revitalizes the coastal economy and supplies industry.

  • Brown seaweed with its golden floats on the sea surface

    Environmental regeneration

    We seek to restore marine ecosystems affected by human activity through seaweed farming, which has a great capacity to capture carbon, absorb nitrogen and provide shelter for hundreds of species.

  • Two fishers celebrating on a boat loaded with seaweed off the coast

    Sociocultural regeneration

    We seek to replace the extractive paradigms deeply rooted in Chile with sustainable, regenerative models based on seaweed farming.

  • People from a coastal community working together with freshly harvested seaweed on a pebble beach

    Economic regeneration

    We aim to be a source of economic diversification for coastal communities, and to build a production chain that does not yet exist in one of the world’s leading seaweed-exporting countries.

PTEC IPMAPY

Every stage we solve is one less obstacle for those who come after us.

PTEC IPMAPY is our technology program with CORFO: six years of research and development covering the full cycle of regenerative kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) farming (hatchery, seeding, harvesting, monitoring and biorefining) with international partners such as Hortimare (Netherlands), Macro Oceans (USA) and Innovex (Chile).

Sustainable Development Goals

Our regenerative seaweed farming contributes to four SDGs, with a positive impact on the ocean, the climate and coastal communities.

Who we work with

Producer profitability is the lever for conservation, not its competitor.

We’re looking for partners who want to build South America’s first regenerative marine industry with us.
