Located in the Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) below Thatcher's Rock in Torbay, Devon, England, Aqua Botanika is a 10-hectare Kelp farm.
In March 2023, we installed special marker buoys and cultivation infrastructure for growing a late-season of Sugar Kelp for testing purposes and as a technical prototype. As of autumn 2023, the farm will begin its annual planting season for harvest in spring 2024.
