🌊 Join our CEO, Paddy Estridge, and CSO, Mike Allen, in this episode of the SeaGen Pod featuring Arica Hill, Director of the Environmental Awareness Group in Antigua and Barbuda 🌊

In this episode, Arica delves into the intriguing tales of diving rats, hungry goats, and hiding turtles! 🐢

Shedding light on the unique challenges and triumphs of conservation efforts in the Caribbean Islands🏝️

Discover the remarkable story behind the inception of the EAG in 1989 and their heroic mission to save the endemic racer snake 🐍

from extinction in 1995, when only 50 individuals remained. From removing invasive species on Great Bird Island to utilising photography 📸 for tracking environmental changes over time, learn about their ground breaking initiatives! Arica discusses the critical importance of environmental monitoring for addressing pressing issues like the Sargassum phenomenon in the Caribbean, and the broader significance of data-driven solutions in global conservation efforts 🌍

Explore the EAG's pioneering work, monitoring 30,000 hectares of ocean space around Redonda Island, where they meticulously track the offshore impacts of land biodiversity restoration on seagrass and coral cover🍃 Above all, Arica emphasises the vital takeaway: the importance of using data to steer sustainable solutions, avoiding the trap of simplistic conservationist narratives such as "we need to save nature..."

🌊The Seaweed Generation Podcast: Revival - A 3-year update!🌊

Join us as co-founders, Paddy Estridge and Mike Allen reflect on the inception of Seaweed Generation, developing the AlgaRay Robot - recognized in Times Top 100 Inventions, and the strides towards ocean biodiversity restoration 🌱

🌅 Mike's highlight of the past three years? His eye-opening trip to Antigua! Engaging with fisheries and environmental agencies, he unveils how he learnt crucial stakeholder insights as we tackle sargassum management head-on. 🤝

📢 Paddy shares her excitement about the upcoming app launch - a game-changer for all! 📱 Enabling real-time monitoring of ocean spaces where our stationary robots are deployed, with plans to integrate this into our mobile robots 🌍

Where will Seaweed Generation be in another 3 years time...?

The Cornish Seaweed Company is one of, if not the, oldest seaweed companies in England. Watch our interview with the incredible Caroline Warwick-Evans, Co-Founder of The Cornish Seaweed Company to learn more, and to feel truly inspired about the power of persistence!

That's right seaweed fans, the seemingly endless possibilities of seaweed continue. This week we chat to Adam Costello from Inland Sea, who have successfully launched and delivered their first batch of t-shirts containing Sea Cell, which is a textile fiber containing seaweed. This is an exciting space for the seaweed industry, with more players (including Inland Sea) entering the market and starting to develop their own seaweed based textiles. Watch this space!

We did, but not that it could be made into all of those things at once! There are about 20m tonnes of the brown seaweed, Sargassum, washed up on beaches from the Caribbean and down through Mexico. Scientists on the Phycomex project have figured out how to make that Sargassum into some of our most essential base materials for modern life. Watch our chat with Amy Pilsbury from the Phycomex project to learn more.
