SEAWEED
From Sea to Soil – Working with WWF and Holkham
We're delighted to be working with WWF and Holkham Estate on an exciting project exploring how seaweed can help make farming more sustainable.
Seaweed grown on our offshore farm is being used by Biotechnica to produce natural biostimulants, which are being tested in crop trials at Holkham.
The trials are investigating whether seaweed-based treatments can improve crop growth, support soil health and help plants withstand stresses such as drought and rising temperatures.
Working alongside researchers at UEA and Cefas, we're helping explore how a crop grown in the North Sea could play a valuable role in the future of farming on land.
Aquaculture
We believe one of the answers to our biggest climate challenges — on land and at sea — has been underwater all along. Seaweed cultivation is an act of environmental stewardship, seeking not just to conserve natural resources but to actively regenerate and replenish the seabed and the water column.

Seaweed Harvesting
After 6-9 months of growth, the seaweed is stripped off the longline and stored in a container. It is then taken ashore, and the seaweed harvest is complete!
Kelpcrete
Kelpcrete is an emerging low-carbon construction material made using minerals and biopolymers extracted from Saccharina latissima kelp. Developed as a partial alternative to conventional cement systems, it is designed to reduce embodied carbon while supporting circular, bio-based construction methods. (kelpcrete.com)
Wear Norfolk Seaweed!
Show your support for Norfolk Seaweed with one of our T-shirts, inspired by our work on the North Norfolk coast.
Seaweed is a wonderful natural resource
Rich in proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes, and in the brown seaweed that we will be farming, organic iodine, seaweed is the superstar substance for the 21st Century. And it’s vegan.
Off the Norfolk Coast, Norfolk Seaweed specialises in the production of low-impact, low-carbon, fully sustainable seaweed for agricultural and construction sectors.
