Volunteering

Hey everyone,
My friend & I plan to ‘set sail’ on a Scallop, Oyster and Seaweed farm venture in Cornwall, UK. Before we do so, we're hoping we could come help a season for someone to get as much hands on knowledge as possible. More than happy to exchange free labour for knowledge. A place to stay would be wonderful :D

Thank you very much for your time.
@jamie_88, @karen_gray might have some helpful insights. The team at Câr y Môr up the coast in Wales might also be able to offer some perspective.
You may want to review this report by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Marine and Coastal Partnership from a seaweed aquaculture workshop last year, which addressed recent farm permit applications: https://www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk/sites/default/files/2024-05/Seaweed%20Aquaculture%20Workshop%20Report_Final.pdf
