Filmmaker Anna Lueck tells a wonderful story in four parts about kelp in the Pacific Northwest. Covering 1.) Restoration with the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, 2.) Monitoring with Reef Check Foundation and the The Oregon Kelp Alliance, 3.) Farming with us (Pacific Sea Farms) and 4.) Inspiration and Next steps. Beautifully told she highlights what is being done to better understand kelp and what we can do to help it thrive.

REGENERATIVE Sea Farming in the Pacific Northwest

Small farms

big impacts

Combining sustainable food production with environmental stewardship, Pacific Sea Farms benefits both human and environmental health.

Good for the Puget Sound

Kelp is a giver, not a taker. It requires no inputs to grow….no fresh water, no fertilizers, no pesticides… just sunshine and saltwater. Seaweeds pull nitrogen out of the water and take in nutrients helping to improve water quality. They also absorb phosphorous and give off oxygen, creating a “halo” effect around the farm that benefits other marine species.

Good for the People

Sugar kelp is packed full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Kelp is one of the most nutrient rich vegetables on the planet and provides our bodies with a large array of health benefits.

Location

Pacific Sea Farms’ first location will be off the southwest shore of Vashon Island, near Seattle, Washington. Our vertical farm will sustainably kelp, oysters, and other shellfish.
