Learn all about kelp farming and how the industry benefits our local aquaculture and how Chatham Kelp's cultivation practices also contribute to coastal resilience. Kelp is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and proteins, making it a valuable addition to the diet. By cultivating kelp locally, Chatham Kelp reduces the need for imported food sources, promoting food security and supporting the local economy. Chatham Kelp was founded locally in 2018 by Richard Curtiss, Carl Douglass, and Jamie Bassett. The innovative venture focuses on harnessing the power of kelp cultivation for a variety of sustainable purposes, highlighting its numerous benefits for both the environment and human health.
