Marine Biologics aims to harness seaweed for environmental benefits by creating a fermented slurry from harvested seaweed. This process will analyze and separate its components for use in food, cosmetics, and plastic alternatives. The initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to address climate change through innovative materials, while CEO Patrick Griffin’s personal transformation following a traumatic surfing accident motivated his departure from the cryptocurrency world to pursue sustainable practices. Overall, the potential of seaweed as a resource is gaining traction in various industries.
Ultimately, the experience prompted him to leave behind blockchain and crypto, industries which also happen to be very climate unfriendly and have massive carbon footprints.
The startup's goal is to eventually collect millions of pounds of seaweed, liquefy and preserve it, then analyze that congealed goo and separate it into its base components.
