Seaweed Mermaid
Tara Giguere
“I do this because I’m genuinely fascinated by seaweed—the way it grows, moves with the tides, and the incredible diversity of it. I love being in the water amongst it, harvesting it and learning about it. I began processing my own seaweed into capsules as a simple way to incorporate more of this nutrient-dense food into my daily diet.”
The Seaweed Mermaid is developing a whole-food seaweed blend that brings together brown, green, and red seaweeds in one simple product. By combining all three colour groups, the blend provides a naturally diverse range of nutrients, minerals and other beneficial compounds found in seaweed. The goal is to make this nutrient-dense ocean food accessible in an easy, everyday format that supports overall health and wellness.

Can offer others
I offer practical, on-the-ground knowledge from harvesting and processing seaweed on a small sustainable scale. My focus is on turning nutrient-dense seaweed into simple, usable food products. Alongside that, I'm happy to share my personal experience and what I've learned so far, as I continue to explore how seaweed can fit into everyday wellness.
