Regenerative ocean farm network to converting seaweed biomass into sustainable by-products
ABOUT THE COMPANY
About the company Kee Farms was started in 2020 in response to local environmental degradation, and the impacts observed on fisherfolk because of climate change. It is a regenerative ocean farm network in the Caribbean focused on ocean restoration, by converting seaweed biomass into sustainable by-products to create a pipeline of value chain offerings. They are the first and only climate change-focused start-up in the Caribbean using vertical ocean farming modalities for sustainability. They have been able to retire almost 3 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere and provide jobs for more than 50 fisherfolk, while bolstering the “blue economy” to promote job creation. Visit website
