Canopy Blue

We’re innovating a way to restore kelp forests at scale, to regenerate WA kelp forests lost in the 2011 marine heatwave and future proof Australia’s underwater biodiversity. Collaborating with Canopy Blue, a WA-based company, the project aims to generate high-quality carbon credits through integrating coastal ecosystems into global carbon offset schemes. Watch the Innovation Nation TV segment featuring Dr Karen Filbee-Dexter below, alongside guest host, UWA’s own Professor Dr Parwinder Kaur, MAICD.

Canopy Blue has made substantial progress in our Western Australian #seaweedcultivation and #carboncapture projects over the last nine months. Kalbarri One has produced excellent Kelp Credit sales including a recent sale of 3,734 credits to the City of Cockburn. Upcoming plans involve deploying 180,000 kelps into restoration areas. Our participation in a significant CSIRO workshop in Canberra highlighted Canopy Blue's leading role in integrating seaweed carbon into national policies and the potential for #bluecarbon ecosystems. The company's Esperance 800 operations at Kepa Kurl continue to advance, with notable achievements such as the successful deployment of seeded growth lines and the first structure on the seabed. We are equipped to seed over 600 metres of line by 2025, marking significant progress in #sustainableseaweed cultivation and #carbonsequestration....

Today, Saturday June 8 is World Oceans Day. 2024’s theme … Awaken New Depths 🌊 The world’s oceans are vital for life on Earth, offering food, medicine, and essential ecosystem services, while also being a major source of global biodiversity. These important ecosystems face threats from human activities, so it is imperative that we collaborate to maintain their health and use them sustainably. Find out how Canopy Blue is collaborating with researchers, industry and Traditional Owners to ‘awaken new depths’ with our innovative kelp restoration projects. https://canopyblue.co #worldoceansday24 #awakennewdepths #seaweed #kelprestoration #WID24 #blueeconomy

#Restoration is key to the prosperity and well-being of people. Vibrant ecosystems provide benefits from food and water to health and security that our growing population needs into the future. Canopy Blue is pioneering hyperscale offshore #seaweedcultivation to sequester CO2, restore the oceans, regenerate the planet and deliver a carbon neutral replacement for fossil fuels. #worldenvironmentday #generationrestoration Find out about our projects here: https://lnkd.in/gv_tByXQ
