 Initially, the farming of seaweed was literally the two of them cutting seaweed at low tide in and around Scarborough.At the outset, the company was just the two of them and the seaweed was processed into use as a foodstuff, for pets, bath products and restaurants.The expansion plans, coupled with grants of £500,000 from the Coastal Communities 
Fund and £25,000 from the Business Enterprise Fund, hope to see the company expand to nine and later 23 to 25 employees with the seaweed being used in the bioplastic and biotextile industries.
