Kelp Blue at Monaco Ocean Week

Under the guidance of its founder, Daniel Hooft, Kelp Blue has developed an innovative blueprint to cultivate vast expanses of giant kelp forests. This diverges from the traditional method of seaweed farming, which is season-based. Instead, Kelp Blue harvests all year round and only takes the topmost 10% of the kelp, thereby protecting the ecosystem. This ensures continued carbon storage and habitat provision, balancing business goals and environmental sustainability, and illustrating a novel approach in marine farming.
