We touch on a few of the exciting projects his team is working on across the world in this episode, such as growing seaweed for bioplastics, offshore mariculture, IMTA and seaweed for food security.  Since this ep was recorded SOC has rebranded to Next Wave Seaweed - you can find them here or on socials @nextwaveseaweed .
