Seaweed Source is a free app that streamlines connections between active seaweed businesses to align kelp supply and demand. Qualified companies can create comprehensive profiles, enabling them to discover new partners, initiate forward contracts, and get real-time updates on supply or purchasing offers. Users can search for partners based on seaweed species, format, or location, and gain visibility into regional and national seaweed networks.
