About Seaweeding

Hi, I’m Sonia! I created Seaweeding as a space to chat about all things seaweed and algae. 

Why? As a marine biologist with a love for all sea-beings, I want to share our underrated and oft overlooked marine plants with the world. Seaweed has so much to offer, yet despite sharing this planet together for, let’s see, the entire time man has existed for some bizarre reason many of us kindly humans still feel squeamish about seaweed and algae. Don’t you think that’s odd? 

Plus seaweed, and algae generally, are way more awesome than many people realize. Did you know that Kelp in the ocean captures 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere every year, according to New Scientist? Holy crap! How can we not love this stuff? 

That is why, here at Seaweeding, I want to share all of the wonderful things about seaweed, including how to grow seaweed for food or health, how to start bringing seaweed into your daily diet, how to cook with it, and enjoy the health-promoting properties it can give us. So, from this devout algae lover here at Seaweeding, please take your time and enjoy reading, and I hope you develop a greater appreciation for these weeds of the sea during your visit here. Cheers!
