Direct seeding

Direct seeding ropes are specially developed to efficiently incorporate seaweed seeds directly into the rope, saving a lot of time and therefore worth considering.

This rope has a sinking ability and is smoothly braided. The special braiding technique prevents kinks and is stronger than a traditional 3-strand twisted rope. Another advantage is that you can easily splice a loop into these ropes.

We offer these ropes in standard and pre-stretched versions. The pre-stretched ropes are slightly thinner but are stronger.

Good for the Environment

Seaweed-ropes is an environmentally-friendly, and climate-friendly form of aquaculture that does not require input of any fertilisers, chemicals or pesticides, and actually improves the local marine environment.

Seaweed-ropes absorbs carbon dioxide from the water as it grows which captures carbon. When farmed kelp is harvested and made into products such as our plant growth stimulants and soil improvers this encourages even more carbon drawdown and capture (through improved soil condition and plant growth). Kelp farming boosts local biodiversity by providing habitats for fish and small invertebrates, which attract predators such as seals and birds. Kelp also cleans the water by absorbing excess nutrients that have entered the sea from other developments and activities.
