SȾÁUTW̱ Partnership with Cascadia Seaweed

Information provided by Cascadia Seaweed:

SȾÁUTW̱ First Nation has issued a license to allow Cascadia Seaweed to farm seaweed off James Island.

Crews are currently preparing to seed the area later this month.

Chrissy Chen, fisheries manager for SȾÁUTW̱ First Nation, said Cascadia was chosen because they offered the “greenest of the green projects” SȾÁUTW̱ wants to pursue. “We are Indigenous People, we are out to conserve and protect and why not have a wonderful company like this to support us and do a joint venture with them?” she said.
