Marine Microbial Innovation
We're harvesting the ocean's smallest lifeforms — phytoplankton — to solve humanity's most urgent challenge. Sustainable nutrition at planetary scale, in harmony with the ocean.
The Challenge
Over 2 billion people face food insecurity today. Traditional agriculture consumes 70% of global freshwater, destroys ecosystems, and is running out of room to grow — literally. The systems we depend on were built for a different world.
Conventional protein sources — soy, fishmeal, grain-fed livestock — are resource-intensive and ecologically destructive. Fishmeal alone drives overfishing. Soy drives deforestation. Neither can sustainably scale to feed 10 billion people by 2050.
We need a fundamentally different answer. Not a marginal improvement on broken systems, but a new paradigm — one found not on land, but in the ocean, in the most abundant lifeforms on Earth.
Our Technology
Phytoplankton are everywhere — up to 100 billion organisms per litre of seawater. They produce half the world's oxygen, anchor the marine food chain, and are packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential micronutrients. The ocean has been producing them for 3 billion years.
The missing piece was harvesting them efficiently, without harming the ecosystems that depend on them. Every existing method was either too slow, too destructive, or too expensive to scale.
SeaCrop's breakthrough: a curtain of positively charged electrostatic fibres. Phytoplankton naturally carry a negative charge. As ocean water flows through the fibre curtain, plankton adhere gently — no nets, no chemicals, no pressure. The ocean keeps flowing. The plankton are captured. The ecosystem is untouched.
Applications
SeaCrop's plankton biomass is a versatile, high-value input for the industries that matter most — without compromising the ocean that produces it.
Replace energy-intensive fishmeal with a direct, ocean-derived protein source. SeaCrop biomass delivers the omega-3s and micronutrients farmed fish need — sourced sustainably, at scale, without depleting wild fish populations.
Fish FarmingReduce dependence on land-intensive soy and grain-based feeds. Phytoplankton biomass is a high-protein, nutrient-dense supplement for poultry, pigs, and cattle — lowering the environmental footprint of meat and dairy production.
Animal NutritionFrom functional food ingredients to nutraceuticals, SeaCrop opens a new category of ocean-derived nutrition. Clean-label, complete protein, traceable to source — for a growing global market demanding better answers.
