Dr. Pia Winberg is marine ecologist and entrepreneur. A fascination with the scientific properties of seaweed led her to a decades long career in both researching and implementing sustainable marine food production systems – specifically the human and eco-systemic health impacts of growing, consuming and nurturing our relationship with seaweed.
Seaweed is recognized as a potentially major ally in drawing down the carbon that fuels climate change – and for its ability to create rich marine habitat and provide substantive nutrition for humankind
Pia started and runs Australia’s first commercial seaweed farm and is working to share the layered solutions, from personal to global, that seaweed offers.
"This one solution could potentially draw down staggering amounts of carbon, restore marine ecosystems, provide enough seafood (brimming with healthy omega-3 fatty acids) for 10 billion people... cool the waters over coral reefs to help prevent bleaching, plus provide a material to make plastics and clothing, feed cattle, dramatically reduce methane emissions and provide a biofuel for energy….” - Damon Gameau, 2040 book, on the possibilities of seaweed
