Seaforestation

Seaforestation.co regenerates life in the ocean and revitalises livelihoods for seaweed farmers, smallholder rice farmers, and coastal communities – many of whom are on the frontlines of climate disruption.

Founded in 2022, Seaforestation.co was established to address the urgent need for ocean regeneration and climate justice. Specifically, the organization focuses on restoring primary productivity in marine ecosystems, which are essential for global food security and stabilising economies in coastal and rural areas affected by climate change. By fostering sustainable economies and introducing innovative marine permaculture techniques, Seaforestation.co works to foster sustainable economies while  addressing critical environmental and economic challenges.

Operating across national borders, Seaforestation.co targets economically disadvantaged communities, particularly in Southeast Asia. It has established operations in regions such as the Central Philippines, where climate impacts are most severe. Many of these communities depend on vulnerable ecosystems for their survival, including seaweed farming and rice cultivation, both of which are increasingly threatened by heatwaves, droughts, and floods.

Seaforestation has successfully implemented a half-acre marine permaculture pilot, demonstrating the effectiveness of regenerative ocean farming. This initiative has enabled the production of over 8,000 litres of seaweed biostimulant, benefiting nearly a thousand rice farmers by improving crop resilience and yields in the face of climate challenges.
