Superior Seaweed Extracts
Our products have been shown by independent research to improve:
- Plant health and physiological fitness
- Photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll content
- Plant antioxidant levels
- Cell wall strength
- Stress tolerance
- Resistance to diseases
- Drought tolerance
Because these remarkable plants take up nutrients from the ocean directly, they are an incredibly rich source of every nutrient known to contribute to plant growth and health — all in perfect balance. Ocean Organics’ products have the most varied sources of naturally occurring nutrients, antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients available.
The Uniqueness of Our Seaweeds
Ocean Organics processes a variety of cold-water North Atlantic seaweeds — the hardiest plants on earth. The daily life cycle of these seaweeds is intensely stressful. As the tides ebb and flow, they are alternately, at low tide, completely exposed on the rocks to which they’re attached, and at high tide, completely submerged in salt water. In the summer they withstand air temperatures that exceed 100º F when exposed, then quickly tolerate frigid water temperatures when submerged. In winter, air temperatures plunge below -10º F, and water temperatures dip below freezing. They go through these cycles twice a day every day of their lives. Through these extremes, these seaweeds manage to feed themselves entirely through their foliage. The naturally-occurring carbohydrates, polysaccharides, organic acids, amino acids, macro- and micronutrients which play key roles in boosting their stress tolerance and survival also contribute to the stress management and survival potential of plants treated with our products. Our seaweed plant growth products are available in formulations for golf courses, agriculture, hydroponics, landscapes and gardens.
The Ocean Organics Difference – Superior Seaweed Extract Manufacturer
Quality means everything to us. Many of the most beneficial and active ingredients in seaweed are damaged by conventional processing. Our proprietary processes are the least destructive of any. We are the only manufacturer of fertilizer products that actually processes seaweeds. (We’ve been doing so since 1977.)
With Ocean Organics seaweed products you are assured of:
- Safety and Sustainability
- Superior Performance and Results
- Ease, Convenience and Economy
Sustainable Harvesting and Processing
Click the video screen above to learn more about Ocean Organics sustainable seaweed processing.
Ocean Organics is committed to protecting the ecosystems of Maine’s marine algae and adhering to sustainable cultivation and harvest practices. Rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) is cut at least 16 inches above the holdfast and harvesting sites are rotated which allows for maintaining healthy seaweed beds. Recent preliminary research suggests this process can reduce local ocean acidification. Ocean Organics has been harvesting sustainably for decades. As much as 60% of rockweed is detached naturally through storms, ice storms, and swift currents according to a 2013 Maine Sea Grant report. The total commercial harvest is less than one percent of the available biomass. Well managed Ascophyllum beds can sustain repeated harvests and grow back with greater biomass.
