Consumable Kelp: Creating Green Products Using Our Ocean
Listen now
Description
This episode of Blue Earth features two Southern Connecticut State University students, who each pitch an early stage business idea for a product that uses kelp. This is the first of three episodes being released this week that all focus on different products created by university students with blue ways to make some green.  Today's students focus on two very different items that create a lot of waste, and eliminate a majority of those adverse impacts with their proposed products. These products both feature kelp, which grows in underwater forests, in shallow oceans, including in this case, the Long Island Sound. Future Frogmen hosted this Shark Tank-like event In celebration of 2020’s World Oceans Week.
