Can you tell us about Nordic Seafarm and how it started?
Nordic SeaFarm was founded by six marine biologists in 2016, after a research study to investigate how a large scale ocean seaweed farm impacts ocean health. After incredible positive results, high-end restaurants wanted to get their hands on the seaweed and the company was founded.
