Seaweed and scallops
-
The Mi’gmaq Wolastoqey Indigenous Fisheries Management Association (MWIFMA) is a not-for-profit organization bringing together the Micmac Nation of Gespeg, the Micmacs of Gesgapegiag and the Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation. The MWIFMA wishes to develop commercial partnerships to sell its seaweed produced at the Paspébiac site in Gaspésie (Québec, Canada).
We mainly produce Royal kombu (Saccharina latissima). We are open to producing other types of seaweed upon request. In the past, we have produced Wakame (Alaria esculenta) and Dulse (Palmaria palmata). We still have some dried wakame and sweet kelp left over from the last harvest (2025).
We are considering starting co-cultivation of seaweed and scallops. We would like to know if there are other companies that have done co-cultivation of seaweed and scallops? We would like to share our experiences.
