About the video

Asparagopsis is a common seaweed native to the waters of Tasmania. This seaweed, when included in very low quantities as a feed supplement, greatly reduces the production of methane from livestock.

Sea Forest is a group dedicated to fighting climate change by being the first in the world to cultivate Asparagopsis at a commercial scale. This is a film about how it works and their journey.
