What is Seaweed Guy CIC?
Seaweed Guy is a Community Interest Company who make plant fertiliser from seaweed. Their sole purpose is to serve the community and benefit the natural environment (not for profit).
Why do Seaweed Guy do their thing?
Seaweed Guy’s mission is to bring about sea-change in our relation between sea and soil.
How will Seaweed Guy surf their goals?
Seaweed is 100% organic and contains alginate which conditions soil superbly.
It helps soil to breathe, hold and drain moisture, as well as boost plant roots to absorb water and nutrients.
Where is Seaweed Guy?
Seaweed Guy washed ashore in Worthing, West Sussex but his fronds reach far and wide.

About us...
Seastainability!
We are permitted by Sussex IFCA, under the Hand Gathering Byelaw 2021, to collect limited amounts of drift seaweed cast upon the strand line.
The byelaw was passed to protect sensitive species and fragile ecosystems, by setting clear limits on what, where and how marine life can be collected.
Want to go a-gathering yourself?
Set course for their webship to discover what, where and how, matey!
