FARMING

SUSTAINABLY FARMING KELP IN VANCOUVER ISLAND’S COOL WATERS TO SUPPORT THRIVING COASTAL COMMUNITIES

We operate an Indigenous-owned kelp farm dedicated to cultivating high-quality kelp transplants for local restoration projects. By providing healthy, robust kelp plants for live sales, we empower restoration initiatives to begin with the best possible foundation for success

At West Coast Kelp, we recognize the challenges facing North America’s emerging kelp sector and the critical role of meaningful research in overcoming them. Beyond producing high-quality kelp plants, our farm serves as a premier site for in-situ research on innovative kelp cultivation and restoration techniques. 

We welcome partnerships with organizations and researchers seeking to leverage our capacity to cultivate large quantities of kelp to advance scientific understanding and practical solutions.
