Free Alaska Oyster-Farming Workshop

Here is the link if the embedding doesn't work (it seems like reddit is having some problems...)

Some might argue Alaska is an over-looked part of the US. In some of Alaska, the population has actually declined over the last couple decades. That said, with continued improvements in the global economy, technology and training opportunities (like this and other ones), it seems like there could be some real opportunity there.

"Applications are due October 21, 2026."

New Zealand Kelp/Seaweed cultivation groups: Greenwave Aotearoa & Aotearoa New Zealand Seaweed Association (ANZSA)

For anyone in NZ, or just looking to network with folks down there, it looks like they've got some kelp industries going.

I haven't talked with anyone down there (about kelp specifically yet) but it could be useful & interesting, especially if you're in Australia or already working out of the South Pacific or Oceania region.

Also, it sounds like some of them are getting some help from the New England-based GreenWave group (I think some of their members are up in the Canadian maritime provinces as well IIRC), which is nice to see.

International Bioeconomy and Macroalgae Center (IBMC) (a research consortium) Launched in 2025

Here's the link: https://energybiosciencesinstitute.org/ibmc/

Could be interesting for more academically oriented people or if you're in industry and would like to directly sponsor research.

It looks like the researchers are mostly in the Anglosphere (US, CA, UK, Ireland) + Korea, Japan, Scandinavia, Israel & French Polynesia.

I don't have any affiliation with them, but it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

PADI Open Water Diver Course for Mariculturists (Alaska/PNW mariculture)

Link

The training is up in Alaska (Kodiak Island) and seems to be geared toward Alaska (or at least PNW) mariculturists, but it might still be worth a look for the seasteading community & people interested in developing related/adjacent/overlapping business niches.

Best regards
