SeaMark

Have you seen our new SeaMark promo video? Check it out to get an overview of the main aspects of the project and the partners involved. The video is intended for all audiences with an interest in seaweed, but especially companies and potential investors who can connect supply chain actors together to add European seaweed and seaweed extracts to both niche and commodity products. Watch this space over the coming weeks and months for further updates on how to get involved with the SeaMark project and its partners.

🤩 Amazing developments from ULTFARMS taking one step forward to making it possible to cultivate #Ulva at #windfarms in the #BalticSea. 🌊 💙 Also, take a look at the findings from the ecosystem assessments that "indicates a positive response from the local ecosystem. [...] The design appears to be hashtag beneficial for local flora and fauna, particularly juvenile fish populations, underscoring its potential to provide valuable ecosystem services." #multiuse #sustainableaquaculture #lowtrophic

🌊 Are you interested in learning about #ocean #multiuse? 👩🎓 The project OREskills has compiled results from projects like OLAMUR , H2020United, ULTFARMS, MULTI-FRAME and MUSES to create a #MOOC with the focus on ocean multi-use, including a course section on #seaweed. 🌬 🌿 In SeaMark, Vattenfall will together with Nofima and SIRPUTIS look at the potentials of upscaled integrated seaweed cultivations in off-shore wind parks, and evaluate the feasibility. Vattenfall is also part of the OLAMUR project, which has shown that off-shore cultivations can be a key enabler to reach global #sustainability goals. 🤔 Not convinced? The courses are completely #free, so there is nothing to loose! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dAmHPfPW P.S. And read the publication from OLAMUR on multi-use potentials in the Nature Magazine: https://lnkd.in/g9WnaK9m

It is full action in SeaMark right now! 🌊 Sophie Koch at Blue Resource / Sjókovin is out in the waves of the #Faroes with the team from Ocean Rainforest, collecting samples for the #environmentalassessments done in the project. 🐚 🐡 🦀 We want to better understand how #seaweed cultivations impact #biodiversity, and what the #carbon pathways connected to the farms look like. 📋 This knowledge is key for the market strategies of the products we develop, as you can see in the article on green claims: https://lnkd.in/dxMTjyRk

🤩 SeaMark has reached over 1500 #followers here on #LinkedIn! 💚 We are so happy so many people are interested in what we do, and we really hope you to keep reading as its just going to get more interesting now that we are getting some #results to share from the project soon... 📈 Keep tagging us in interesting news, sharing posts and spreading the word, so we can maybe reach past 2000 soon! Let us know if there is anything in particular you want to see here, or any questions you want answered. You can also send them here: https://lnkd.in/dQkQMn5Q And don´t forget to follow all of our partners too! 👉 Ocean Rainforest Fermentationexperts ALGAIA Blue Resource / Sjókovin Wageningen University & Research DTU - Technical University of Denmark OCEANIUM University of Galway Utrecht University ALGAplus Production and Trading of Seaweed and Derived Products S.A.

Did you miss the SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth EEIG Working Group meeting on Green Claims last week? 👇 Read our summary and take-aways in the link below! You can also watch the seminar if you are interested to also hear some examples from German law on the matter, and a more elaborate explanation of #LCA limitations.

😱 Did you know that 53% of claims about "green" products are vague, misleading or state unfounded #environmental information? And 40% are unsubstantiated, meaning there is no #science to back it up? 🏛 This is why the commission has proposed a #GreenClaimsDirective, with the goal to protect consumers from #misinformation and unfair marketing. 💚 But how does this affect the industry, and could it actually be an advantage for products that really are and #sustainable? 🌊 🌱 SeaMark joined the working group meeting hosted by SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth EEIG to talk about the Green Claims, and Morten Heide from Nofima talked about the use of #sustainability in go-to-market strategies for #seaweed products. There were some great insights given and we will soon share a summary of the meeting, and the video will be available in our training platform at www.seamark.eu !

In case you missed it... ... we had two speakers on Seagriculture Conference! Shout out to Floor Marsman and Jóhanna Alberg from Ocean Rainforest who presented their work and the achievements of SeaMark to a full audience 👏 🌊 Jóhanna talked about the impact of #seaweedcultivation on #biodiversity, and Floor showcased the the seaseeder seeding machine developed and tested in the project. 🙌 It is always great to see our experts disseminate #projectresults and #achievements, and the great interest in the work they do!

Come visit us at Seagriculture Conference! 🌊 🌱 We have a full table of #seaweed from Ocean Rainforest and #seaweedproducts like #oceanink and #oceanactives skincare from OCEANIUM 👋 Come by and say hi and hear more about #sustainable seaweed #cultivation and the products we are developing, like #fucoidan, #greenalginate, #betaglucans and #fermented #feed. And tomorrow, we have some #speakers on the stage.... Stay tuned!

🌱 Join us on July 24th for a joint working group on #GreenClaims! What are they? What do they mean? How do they affect the #bluebioeconomy? Lets discuss this together with different industry and legal experts to understand a little bit more about the topic. See details below 👇
