Seaweed Farming in Washington State
-
Congrats to @mike_spranger for this profile from Washington radio station KUOW on his up and coming kelp farm in Puget Sound! It's been exciting to watch industry pioneers like Joth Davis at Blue Dot farms pave the way for more kelp farming in the Pacific Northwest. For those interested in starting a farm in Washington, Mike offered some great reflection on his permitting process to date. You can read the thread in the community here.
Congrats, @mike_spranger !
@krizl_soriano -Thanks.... I'm not quite over the finish line vis a vis all my permits but it's getting closer and closer every day!

@lindsay_olsen @mike_spranger - Congratulations, Mike! I hope you'll keep us posted on how things go with your farm! It'll be so helpful to hear about the challenges you run into and the solutions you find work best for them in addition to your successes!
@clammityjane -Thanks, Sharon. I'll be sure to keep y'all posted. I'm happy to share all/anything that I can.. Greenwave and others have been a HUGE help but there is still lots I'm learning as I muddle along. Feel free to reach out at: mikeonvashon@yahoo.com if you want and I'll tell you everything I know. The West Coast, in particular, needs more farms/farmers if this thing is going to actually take off..
