Our Story
The Kenya Seaweed Alliance was created to help coastal communities benefit from sustainable seaweed farming. Our work brings together local knowledge, marine science, and supportive policy to build a new blue-economy opportunity for Kenya.
Mission
To build a sustainable, community-led seaweed sector that improves livelihoods, strengthens local food systems, and enhances marine ecosystems.
Vision
A thriving Kenyan coastline where seaweed farming provides income, nutrition, and environmental regeneration.
Our Approach
Community-first
We design and operate our projects around local needs, ensuring communities are active partners, beneficiaries, and long-term stewards of the work.
Environmentally responsible
All activities are guided by ecological best practice, protecting marine ecosystems while restoring biodiversity and coastal resilience.
Transparent and data-driven
We collect, monitor, and share data openly to inform decisions, meet regulatory standards, and continuously improve outcomes.
Fair, inclusive markets
We create ethical market access that guarantees fair pricing, inclusive participation, and shared value across the entire supply chain.
