The thought of slowing climate change is often overwhelming, so much so that it leads to fear and inaction for individuals. But there is light where most people may not expect it!

Living in our oceans, capturing carbon, providing habitat, and producing oxygen are brown, green and red seaweeds with so many potential uses — human food, pet food, livestock feed, bio-packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and more! A little awareness mixed with a dash of innovation is a recipe for HOPE!

This is an invitation for you to share in that vision by participating in the second annual Seaweed Days event!

The purpose of the festival is to expand consumer acceptance of seaweed, and to leave participants feeling inspired to make a positive impact simply by inviting more seaweed into their lives!

The seven days of seaweed will open with a virtual global event called Seaweed Around the Clock and will finish with World Oceans Day. Festival headquarters and ground zero for the budding seaweed industry is Sidney, British Columbia, from where we are proud to offer a hybrid event this year, including Mindfulness Morning presented by Kove Ocean Foods.

We feel this festival will provide tremendous value to companies and organizations looking to align themselves with, and demonstrate, meaningful climate action!
