Breathing life back into our planet

We’re a global network of regenerative ocean farmers.

 

GreenWave replicates and scales regenerative ocean farms to create jobs and protect the planet.

We train and support ocean farmers in the era of climate change, working with coastal communities around the world to create a blue economy - built and led by farmers.

How We Do It

  • Approach

    As a nonprofit, our goal is to provide training, tools, and support to regenerative ocean farmers to catalyze the planting of seaweed and shellfish that yield meaningful economic and climate impacts.

  • Programs

    We work with farmers from seed to sale leveraging a mix of high and low-touch training, while scaling demand for farmers’ crops through our market development programing.

  • Farm & Hatchery

    GreenWave’s commercial farm and hatchery function as our innovation hub where we develop and test new technologies and designs to help farmers scale their operations.

  • Ocean Farming Hub

    We’ve built a robust online Ocean Farming Hub that leverages digital farm design tools, a community hub, and curriculum to equip farmers with the tools and support network needed to run successful operations. With over 2,500 users, the Hub is a free seed-to-sale resource designed by and for ocean farmers

  • Kelp Climate Fund

    Our Kelp Climate Fund is a subsidy that provides direct payments to farmers for the climate-positive role of their ocean farms, including carbon and nitrogen removal and habitat restoration. In return, farmers provide key monitoring data on outplanting, growth rates, and harvest yields.

  • Seaweed Source

    GreenWave works to open up new sales channels for small and medium-scale ocean farmers. Seaweed Source is a free app for active seaweed farmers, hatcheries, and buyers to discover new partners, initiate forward contracts, and get real-time updates on supply or purchasing offers.
