What does Ulva Sea Farms do?
Ulva Sea Farms is the leader in the future of seaweed farming, thanks to our bespoke Ulva growing pens, which simplify the cultivation of Ulva worldwide. Our revolutionary pens can yield up to 20 tons of Ulva biomass per season, per pen, offering versatile applications such as Ulvan and Polysaccharides for pharmaceutical uses, it is also grown for animal feed, and bio stimulants.
Recent research shows that Ulva can be used to capture rare earth elements such as Scandium, Yttrium, and other rare minerals from the oceans. We have rare earth element projects around the UK and the globe. Please contact us for more details or to get involved.
Ulva Sea Farms was set up by Alec Watt, who has over ten years of experience in the UK and Global seaweed farming. Initially, the aim was to promote the farming of UK Ulva for pharmaceutical and animal health purposes. However, the business is now exploring how Ulva can be used for carbon capture and also for capturing rare earth minerals from seawater.
