This model is a starting point — shaped by geography and tradition, evolving through conversations with local growers, producers, and communities.

Potential Strengths

Produce

Sea Vegetable Range

Sustainably harvested kelp, dulse, and sea lettuce providing mineral-rich nutrition while supporting ocean health and carbon sequestration.

Livestock

Salt Marsh Lamb

Heritage sheep grazed on coastal salt marshes, producing distinctively flavored meat while maintaining these unique ecosystems.

Specialty Produce

Samphire & Sea Herbs

Wild-harvested and cultivated coastal herbs with unique mineral profiles and culinary applications.

Regenerative Focus

Coastal ecosystem restoration
Carbon sequestration through seaweed
Salt marsh preservation
Marine biodiversity protection
Wind erosion prevention

Community Access

Supplies coastal communities with fresh seafood alternatives, operates seaweed workshops, and partners with local schools for ocean literacy programs.

Aspiration

To demonstrate that coastal regions can produce abundant, nutritious food while actively regenerating marine and shoreline ecosystems for future generations.
