NGO, Government and Community Initiatives
AirMiners
An international volunteer community working to mine carbon from the air. This website will, its authors hope, be one starting place for researchers, entrepreneurs, financiers to visit in search of opportunities to sequester estranged atmospheric CO2, and then safely dispose of it…all economically. They have educational materials, host events and recently started Launchpad, for startup support.
Australian Seaweed Institute
The Australian Seaweed Institute is the driving force behind the sustainable and climate-positive seaweed industry in Australia. We are committed to thriving oceans and communities with the aim to establish a world class seaweed industry for Australia. We have a vision for a high tech and high value regenerative seaweed industry that creates thousands of regional jobs and supports healthy oceans and communities.
Bioneers
Bioneers is an innovative nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and the planet. Founded in 1990 in Santa Fe, New Mexico by social entrepreneurs Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, we act as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
Climate Foundation
The Climate Foundation is a non-profit made up of people from all over the world and is dedicated to stopping global warming in our lifetime. Their current projects include food security, carbon sequestration and ecosystem survival.
GenialG
The Horizon 2020 Blue Growth project GENIALG is the first industry-driven project bringing together pioneering companies in large-scale integrated European biorefineries and experts in seaweed cultivation, genetics and metabolomics to boost the seaweed industry. GENIALG will boost the Blue Biotechnology Economy in Europe by designing high yielding seaweed cultivation systems. GENIALG will increase the production and sustainable exploitation of two high-yielding species of European seaweed biomass: the brown alga Saccharina latissima (also known as Sugar Kelp) and the green alga Ulva spp. (often called Sea Lettuce).
Global Aquaculture Alliance
At the Global Aquaculture Alliance, our mission is to promote responsible aquaculture practices through education, advocacy, and demonstration. For over 20 years, we have demonstrated our commitment to feeding the world through responsible and sustainable aquaculture.
Macro Cascade
Macro Cascade is a European initiative that will prove the concept of the cascading marine macroalgal biorefinery. This is a production platform that covers the whole technological chain for processing sustainable cultivated macroalgae biomass – also known as seaweed – to highly processed value added products
Oceana
Oceana seeks to make our oceans more biodiverse and abundant by winning policy victories in the countries that govern much of the world's marine life. Oceana, founded in 2001, is the largest international advocacy organization focused solely on ocean conservation.
OceanCDR
The leading knowledge hub on ocean-based carbon dioxide removal. Highlighting institutions, projects and events around the world.
Oceans 2050
Restoring abundance to the ocean by 2050. At Oceans 2050 we work to enable and amplify how people and companies across all sectors can be contributors to a common vision of an abundant future - with thriving oceans - for our children and grandchildren.
Pacific Seaweed Growers Association
The Pacific Seaweed Growers Association (PSGA) is a non-profit, member-driven, industry association that works to develop awareness around the benefits and diverse use-values for seaweed. The association will collaborate with stakeholders to develop educational material, new technology and promote innovation. The organization will also advocate to all levels of government for support of this emerging industry sector.
ProSeaweed
The aim of the program is to develop sustainable seaweed value chains from the Dutch waters for healthy foods, food additives and animal nutrition. Wageningen University & Research and the North Sea Farm foundation work together with 13 partners on 10 research projects.
Seaweed for Europe
A Coalition to advance and scale a sustainable and innovative seaweed industry in Europe. Seaweed for Europe is seeking to scale the European seaweed industry by driving innovation and investment, with the ultimate aim of unlocking significant economic, environmental, and social benefits.
Seaweed Hub
The Sea Grant network has established a National Seaweed Hub to serve as a science-based, non-advocacy resource for the domestic seaweed and seaweed aquaculture industry. This collaboration provides a framework to share information, address challenges, identify needs, and find opportunities in this emerging industry.
Sustainable Seaweed Solutions
Building on the ARPA-E funded MACMODS project and with new support from the Climateworks Foundation, S3 will assess the biophysical potential and techno-economic feasibility for seaweed mariculture to sustainably supply globally-relevant quantities of food, biofuels, and carbon dioxide removal.
