Southern Ocean Carbon Joins the Australian Sustainable Seaweed Alliance (ASSA)

We are excited to announce that Southern Ocean Carbon has officially joined the Australian Sustainable Seaweed Alliance (ASSA) as a corporate member, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability.

The Australian Sustainable Seaweed Alliance is dedicated to advancing sustainable seaweed farming and building an industry of the future that creates value for people and the planet beyond financial metrics. It brings together stakeholders from across the aquaculture sector to promote best practices and support the development of a thriving, resilient seaweed economy in Australia.

As a corporate member, Southern Ocean Carbon will collaborate with industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to drive forward sustainable seaweed cultivation and highlight its potential to address global challenges such as food security, ocean health, and climate change. This membership reinforces our dedication to offering environmental services that contribute to the well-being of both people and the planet.

“We know that we’re facing some confronting realities in our oceans over the coming years, and we’re thrilled to be joining forces with ASSA to help address these realities, and to help strengthen Australian environmental stewardship efforts”, says Environmental Economist Tim Harmsen. “The common goal uniting all ASSA members is a desire to make our oceans healthier; a goal that’s become more attainable through the inception and development of ASSA. And we couldn’t be prouder as members of this alliance, combining forces to fight the good fight and kelp to save our oceans (pun intended!). We feel that being a part of the ASSA family will enable us to establish ourselves firmly as national players with an international presence in the global seaweed industry.”

Southern Ocean Carbon is proud to stand alongside like-minded businesses and organisations working together to pave the way for a sustainable and resilient seaweed industry in Australia and worldwide. Stay tuned for updates on our collaborations and projects through our membership with ASSA.
