Regenerative aquaculture · Tasmania

Farming the ocean in a way that gives back to it.

Our aim is to grow mussels, seaweed, scallops and oysters together in a single ocean system — where one species' outputs become another's inputs. The result is seafood produced in a way that helps restore the water it grows in, alongside meaningful coastal jobs.

Learn the model

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, explained plainly — and why it's something Tasmanians get behind together.

Our work

Why we exist

A coastal community building a new source of work from the waters around it.

On Bruny, tourism and hospitality carry most of the employment load, and work outside them has always been scarce. We set out to create something different — a regenerative seafarming industry rooted in the ocean itself, with the potential to become a major employer across Tasmania and, in time, coastal communities right around Australia.

Rather than working against the ocean, we work with it. These farms produce not only seafood, but environmental benefits — carbon drawdown, nutrient cycling and habitat — alongside local jobs. It's an approach built on a simple idea: sustaining the seas that sustain us.

We've moved well beyond the idea stage — our first pilot is already growing. The next one is within reach.
