Seaforestation

Every order plants 1 kelp. Through our partnership with Ocean Wise we are planting Kelp for every Seatopia order. Regenerating kelp forest provides habitats for a wide range of marine species, from fish and shellfish to seals and sea otters. Kelp forests also help to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the impact of ocean acidification and climate change. Together we have planted over 9,100 kelp trees to date!

The Art Of The Skin:

Branzino's crispy skin is a prized delicacy. Pan-searing or grilling allows the skin to achieve a delightful texture. While some prefer to remove the skin, it's perfectly delicious!
