Kelp is an integral part of healthy coastal ecosystem. Due to climate change, there is a limit to the amount of wild kelp that can be harvested sustainably and wild beds are facing increased stress from warming waters and invasive species. By leaving the wild beds where they are and farming kelp instead, kelp farmers are adding to the natural ecosystem, remediating excess carbon and nitrogen while taking pressure off of wild beds from human harvest. Kelp de-acidifies the ocean by removing nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon dioxide, which we have too much of. Additionally, when kelp is grown, we are adding a healthful, sustainable food source that requires no arable land, irrigation, or any pesticides or herbicides. In the words of our friends at Atlantic Sea Farms, kelp is the Virtuous Vegetable!

The founders of Atlantic Sea Farms created the first commercially viable seaweed farm in the United States in 2009, with the goal of diversifying how our coastal waters are used and providing a domestic, fresh, healthy alternative to imported seaweed products which are often from compromised water with little or no environmental oversight or batch testing for quality and safety. Kelp farmers grow seaweed in Maine coastal waters on “seeded lines” —rope with juvenile plants attached—and harvest these by hand. Many Maine kelp farmers are from fishing families who have relied on lobsters for the bulk of their income. Between the warming waters in the Gulf of Maine and the high price of bait, many lobstermen turn to this offseason crop as an easy way for them to diversify their income. For them, kelp farming is a natural fit. The seasons are compatible; kelp farming takes place in the winter when the lobster fishing season is slower and many lobstermen already have the appropriate gear and knowledge to start farming kelp. Atlantic Sea Farms supports their partner kelp farmers with technical support, lease support, gear set-up and harvest training as well as free seeds to get them started. 

The Island Institute and Luke’s Lobster have formed a strategic partnership to build resilience in the seafood supply chain and provide opportunities for Maine’s fishermen and aquaculturists. The joint endeavor between Luke’s Lobster and the Island Institute is a continuation of a longstanding collaboration; for years, these two entities have worked to strengthen Maine’s coastal economies, partnering with fishermen and community leaders to improve resilience along the shore.
