Hello 👋 I’m new here! I live in the South of England and wanting to set up Seaweed Farm. Can anyone recommend courses to get started? Any knowledge on how well it grows in these areas please? Many thanks Melissa
@melissa_cooke66 Hi Melissa, welcome! I would suggest making your way through the courses in the "getting started" track in the Hub. You might also enjoy the recordings from this past January's How to Start a Kelp Farm course.
@melissa_cooke66 Hi Melissa! I'm also UK based (Devon), and found the SAMS Seaweed Academy one week course in Oban super helpful. I'd been working on the plans for a year or so, and then this course really helped me build a better understanding of the practicalities of cultivation in the UK. Happy to chat too if this helps!

@kerr_jeferies54 Hey is that course available virtually as well? I'm just about to start working through the material available on here, but it would be great to have something listed on the resume as an official course!
@melissa_cooke66 Hi, I can vouch for all the greenwave courses. They are awesome. I’m in Washington state which a long way from England but I’m well on my way to having a farm and would be happy to share what I have done. You can find out more about us here: pacificseafarms.com. There are a few short videos that input together in “news and events “ section. Feel free to reach out if there is interest
