AlgaBloom International, a Vancouver biotech company specializing in the design and development of microalgae bioreactors became in 2022 a NASA and a Canadian Space award-winner (ph1) for its food machine to be used by astronauts on missions to Mars.
Falling in love with the ocean, AlgaBloom's founder, Soheyl Mottahedeh turned his NASA's innovation into a cultivator that seeds lines with baby crops that can be planted into the ocean: the BioSeedeX cultivator was born. Using Capillary action to form a thick Biofilm of marine organisms, baby ocean gametes cultivated in the BioSeedeX attach themselves to lines reaching an algae density up to 100 times that of traditional Bioreactors.
The startup behind the BioSEedeX, "Ocean Seeders Collective Ltd." (OSCL) is dedicated to creating thriving kelp forests as crucial habitats of the Salmon and of other marine life forms. The BioSeedeX is a compact and versatile multi-crop Bioreactor that plays a pivotal role in this process. This cutting-edge technology automates the seeding and the culturing stages, all culminating into a solid attachment of baby propagules - Kelp spores, Mussel larvae , Oyster spats, and Coral leaf gametes and other organisms of the like onto spool lines - thus reducing hatchery steps into a single continuous process, making the seeding process efficient, effective and manageable by non-experts - including fishermen and school children.
Simplifying the seeding operation expands the BioSeedeX's target audience to groups of individuals and organizations including non-for-profits and foundations, schools, seniors and to volunteers ... in fact, to anyone open to particiapte in ocean restoration. It also responds to the needs of commercial businesses such as the aquaculture sector, of ocean farmers and fishermen, and offers applications in wastewater treatment.
Joining the movement towards ocean restoration through innovative bioreactor technology is not only a way to contribute to environmental conservation but also a way to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations who share a common vision. By utilizing advanced technology and fostering a sense of community, Ocean Seeders is leading the way in creating a sustainable future for our oceans and coastline communities.
If you are passionate about ocean conservation and eager to make a positive impact, consider learning more about Ocean Seeders and their groundbreaking BioSeedeX technology. Together, we can work towards a healthier, more vibrant ocean ecosystem for generations to come.
