We harvest only the invasive

species non native to New Zealand

waters in order to restore the balance

of our marine ecosystem.

Undaria Pinnatifida (Wakame) is an invasive species
in New Zealand.

It came in our country in the ballast water of cargo ships and it has spread

throughout the coastal waters.

We collect this seaweed only from mussel farms which are man made

structures and not from natural surfaces .Undaria colonizes all hard

surfaces, displacing native seaweed and altering the ecological

balance in marine environment. For mussel farmers, the Undaria

causes many issues by displacing and chocking mussels,

reducing harvesting productivity and increasing fuel usage and

maintenance costs.

By supporting our company through your purchase of our products, you are

helping us to reduce the impactof this seaweed on our environment and way

of life .We fully comply with conditions of our Harvesting Permit under the

Biosecurity act. To reduce the impact on the environment we never return

any Undaria back to the ocean and handle it in such a way that it is

rendered non-viable and kept out of our waterways.
