WWF supports seaweed farming for its: 🔵Positive climate impact 🔵Coastal community benefits 🔵And more! Learn more about seaweed farming in this short video featuring a young couple starting a regenerative seaweed business in Maine.

Part 2: First of all, what are they mining for? #RareEarthElements (REEs), is a group of 17 metals including neodymium, lanthanum, #cerium, and yttrium, critical for high-tech devices like smartphones, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. (read on for more) #CriticalMinerals

Part 3: These #metals are incredibly difficult to extract and refine, and traditional mining of #REE is devastating for the environment. (read on for more) #CriticalMinerals #biomining

Part 4: Environmental Impacts of Traditional Mining: #Deforestation: Mining activities contribute to around 10% of global deforestation. This not only destroys ecosystems and biodiversity but also reduces the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.(read on) #CriticalMinerals

Part 5: Environmental Impacts of Traditional Mining: #CarbonEmissions: Mining is energy-intensive, relying heavily on fossil fuels for mining machinery, which results in greenhouse gas emissions. (read on) #CriticalMinerals

Part 6: Environmental Impacts of Traditional Mining: #HumanRights Issues: Mining often leads to human rights abuses, including land degradation and community conflicts. (read on) #CriticalMinerals

Part 7: Stay tuned for more information about our hope for the alternatives using the power of #seaweed. 💚 💪 Read about our ideas here: blueevolution.com/biomining/ #CriticalMinerals

The Commercial #Seaweeds Market has been making waves across global industries, offering sustainable solutions to various sectors such as food & beverage, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biofuels. Read up: linkedin.com/pulse/rising-t…

Blue Evolution, we’re proud to farm two types of #kelp in Kodiak, Alaska, where our operations are powered by the island’s #renewable wind and #hydroenergy. The island of Kodiak has a nearly 100% #cleanenergy grid.

NEWS: Blue Evolution & Māori Iwi Join Forces to Scale Regenerative Seaweed Farming in Aotearoa New Zealand Read about it: blueevolution.com/blog/blue-evol… #blueeconomy #seaweedfarming

Pictured here is Rikirangi Gage, CEO of Te Rūnanga o te Whānau, and Beau Perry, CEO of Blue Evolution, formalize their partnership with a Hongi, which symbolizes shared trust and commitment. Learn about this partnership: blueevolution.com/blog/blue-evol… #seaweed #seaweedfarm

New research shows seaweed can hold 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere and has sequestered about 30% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Seaweed could also be used as a food source, and as animal feed to reduce methane emissions from livestock farming. bit.ly/4efXcJ4

🌊 Seaweed’s potential is huge! Not only is it a sustainable food source, but it also absorbs CO₂, supporting climate action and ocean health. 💚 What other seaweed benefits inspire you? 🌍 #bluecarbon #sustainability #climateaction nhm.ac.uk/discover/seawe…

As stated in the updated report the global commercial #seaweed market is estimated to reach US$ 12.7 billion in 2024! Due to its several uses and health advantages, commercial seaweed is seeing a sharp increase in demand worldwide. Read more: globenewswire.com/news-release/2…

On #Seaweed: “They’re a prolific sponge – they soak up nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon and a lot of minerals, and so in this first pass at the content analysis, we got a certain set of signals around REEs and precious metals, like rhodium, palladium and scandium.” -Beau Perry

#Seaweed can sequester carbon 10 to 75 times more effectively than terrestrial forests, but its benefits extend far beyond being a #carbonsink. It plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Learn more: blueevolution.com

🌱 Seaweed Biomining: an environmentally-friendly approach that has potential to utilize the natural absorption abilities of seaweeds to extract #essentialminerals from the ocean. blueevolution.com/biomining/

We see seaweed as the future of #biostimulants because seaweeds are rich in bioactive compounds that support plant health including #polysaccharides, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, and antioxidants. blueevolution.com/biostimulants/

Honored to stand alongside our Māori partners as they lead the way in sustainable #aquaculture. Their dedication to traditional #seaweedfarming not only preserves a rich cultural heritage but also sets a new standard for responsible marine practices. triplepundit.com/story/2024/m%C…
