  • Meet the CEO Bringing Seaweed to Your Grocery Store

    Meet the CEO Bringing Seaweed to Your Grocery Store
    Aug 30 2024
    Seaweed has lots of practical applications. We use it as fertilizer, incorporate it into face creams and packaging as a plastic alternative, and we eat it. Very little of the seaweed used worldwide is grown in the U.S., which some proponents and regulators are looking to change because seaweed has been shown to have some positive effects on ecosystems. Maine-based Atlantic Sea Farms is one company looking to increase the amount of seaweed grown in U.S. waters. WSJ’s Alex Ossola speaks with Atlantic Sea Farms CEO Briana Warner about how her company is making that happen, and what it will take for seaweed aquaculture to truly scale in the U.S. What do you think about the show?

Concise and well researched

Well done -- it sounds like a follow up episode on the less bad fuels is in order. Is there $ from infrastructure bill to help make necessary mods to existing planes?
