Over the past weekend, I stumbled upon heaps of kelp being discarded on an Irish beach. Kelp is a kind of seaweed, delicious, nutritious, easy to cook and lasts ages if properly processed. As I have loved kelp dishes since childhood, I couldn't help but wonder why this valuable resource was being neglected. Was not this a missed opportunity? And how could we spread awareness about the worth of kelp?

Fortunately, I was joined by like-minded people from Brazil, India, and Malaysia, most of whom were unfamiliar with kelp as a food. We all share a fervent eagerness to investigate this uncomplicated solution for addressing the global food crisis and combating climate change.

This project is certainly worth delving into, as kelp, in comparison to many other aquatic plants, is abundant and readily accessible in numerous coastal regions. We are just regular folks, much like you and our straightforward message is to make use of what readily available. By including more kelp in our diets instead of letting it go to waste on the shore, we are helping the ocean, our planet, and ourselves.
