Hot off the press: Business Planning for Kelp Farming!

[kendall_barbery]

On May 9, Connecticut Sea Grant published Business Planning for Kelp Farming (attached below). This new manual is a great primer on the U.S. kelp industry and a comprehensive business planning resource for new and emerging kelp farmers.
The resource was developed in collaboration with other Sea Grant offices and GreenWave. It includes tools and templates adapted from the U.S. Small Business Administration SCORE program, the Commonwealth of Australia's web portal business, and GreenWave's Hub and training programming.
Enjoy!
