About Us

Our story begins back 30 odd years ago with Vaughan commercially diving the shores of the lower North Island for Paua, Kina and Agar in a pair of jeans and a jersey (don't try this) for not much. While enjoying underwater the vast number of seaweed species on display, the Wairarapa coastline has been kindly delivering up healthy beachcast seaweeds to harvest over the decades with it's multi-benefits and uses in horticulture, agriculture, cosmetics, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and more as science uncovers.

Currently we are harvesting mainly beachcast seaweeds, collected and dried by the hard work of the local "coasters" and developing our own products and supplying bulk to other great companies with theirs.

We carefully choose these naturally organic and sustainable seaweeds taking care of people and the environment through wild harvest. Our mission is to get the goodness from the sea to you!

If you would like to be a seaweed picker on beaches in the North Island then please CONTACT us. Or check out our PRODUCTS and introduce your lifestyle to the amazing benefits of seaweeds. We comply with the Ministry of Fisheries regulations under permit.
