Radio Coruña Cadena SER has featured the story of Shiweed, a Galician cosmetics company that combines macroalgae from the Costa da Morte with locally sourced oils.

Step by step, its journey illustrates the links in the chain that BIOCHAINS Atlantic is working to connect: the resource, research, processing and the market.

The report also addresses key issues for algae value chains: collaboration with Galician universities, the need for harvesting that respects the resource’s renewal cycles, and the role that algae farming may play in the coming years.
