Monterey Bay Seaweeds is a land-based seaweed farm in California that produces 4-7 species for the US live culinary seaweed market. We work in partnership with San Jose State University to grow our seaweeds using proprietary tumble-culture methods with flowing seawater (450 gpm), producing up to 15 tons of fresh seaweed annually (25 tons/acre/year) for restaurants, food services, and cosmetics/nutraceutical companies. Given disruptions to the restaurant market due to COVID-19, Monterey Bay Seaweeds has begun research and development on mid-value high volume applications that highlight the high protein content and nutritional value of our focal species dulse (Devaleraea mollis). The utility of land-based seaweed farms to meet the increasing demand for culinary seaweed products will require the development of high-volume high-value applications that extend beyond direct consumption in high-end restaurants.
