Good for you, good for the
ocean. 

Locally sourced seaweed from the Indian coastline 

​What even is seaweed?

Seaweed is the commonly used term for any algae found in seas, oceans and salt water bodies.

 

India has over 800 species found across three types ; red, green and brown seaweed. They are all edible but some of them taste nicer than others! 

​

​We harvest Sargassum species of seaweed because they are delicious and versatile and abundantly available in Goa.

​How is it harvested?

Seaweed is found in the intertidal along certain sections of the coast. We either harvest at low tides or freedive through seaweed forests and harvest what we need. 

​

We are very careful to only harvest seaweed that is abundantly available and cut the seaweed from a certain height to allow it to grow further. 

 

We also document the health and diversity of the seaweed forests we harvest from. 

Our Story

We started The Good Ocean to introduce people to the magic of India's seaweed forests through food. 

Our team harvests local seaweed from the coast of Goa and processes it for restaurants, breweries, beauty companies and individual customers.

Depending on where we harvest from, we either work with, or get consent from fishing community members to harvest seaweed along the coast of Goa. Once harvested, we transport it to our purpose-built processing unit where it is cleaned and dried.​

​

​

We also host Tidepool walks for people to explore this magical ecosystem.
