Seacrop’s goal is to make marine plankton edible. Although plankton is incredibly nutrient-rich and environmentally friendly, it’s been largely ignored by the global community until recently, due to the difficulty in harvesting it in a viable manner.

Enter Seacrop, which has created proprietary fiber technology that enables efficient and sustainable harvesting. Its technology addresses the issues that make plankton harvesting so difficult: minuscule and diluted targets, enormous flows, and very low-pressure gradients. With functionalized surface fibers, their technology can capture plankton particles via surface interaction rather than physical obstruction.

The company’s mission is to establish and provide plankton as a high-quality and abundant food source, thus addressing the global issue of increasing food insecurity.
