The thought of slowing climate change is often overwhelming, so much so that it leads to fear and inaction for individuals. But there is light where most people may not expect it!

Living in our oceans, sequestering carbon, providing habitat, and adding oxygen to our atmosphere are brown, green and red seaweeds with so many potential uses — human food, pet food, livestock feed, bio-packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and more!

A little awareness mixed with a dash of innovation is a recipe for HOPE! This is an invitation for you to share in that vision by participating in the first annual Seaweed Days, presented by Cascadia Seaweed.

The Seaweed Days Festival includes a variety of FREE VIRTUAL presentations, activities and events.  

We have a dream that someday seaweed will be known to everybody as a healthy part of everyday life. Therefore we are bringing together people with knowledge and experience to this international “Seaweed for Health” conference. Topics will include health research and business interests concerned with maximizing the use of seaweed. We hope that you will join us.

Available worldwide, seaweeds are incredibly rich sources of nutrients and unique bioactives. At the “Seaweed for Health” conference we will present an opportunity for people from many backgrounds to discuss the health-promoting properties of seaweed compounds, including novel functional ingredients that can be used for the formulation of food, feed, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, we will discuss toxicological aspects and regulatory issues as well as some barriers for industrial exploitation and commercialization of seaweed.
