A cool blue future for Baltic communities

COOL BLUE BALTIC combines aquatic food production with the active regeneration of marine ecosystems to boost local economies.

Regenerative ocean farming punches well above its weight. Whether cultivating seaweeds or bivalve molluscs, these species grow without the need for any external inputs such as antibiotics, fertiliser or even feed. As they grow, they sequester carbon, filter out pollutants and serve as habitat for marine life. They’re also a sustainable source of protein. COOL BLUE BALTIC is helping local fishers, farmers and coastal communities leverage regenerative aquaculture as a means of diversifying their income and future-proofing their livelihoods.
