Tasmania’s coastal waters are home to a remarkable native seaweed with the potential to dramatically reduce methane emissions from livestock, turning this humble marine algae into a promising climate solution.

During this visit to Sea Forest, you’ll learn more about Asparagopsis’ role in combating climate change, see the company’s research and development facility, and discover how it is working to commercialise Asparagopsis at scale. You’ll also learn about Tasmania’s giant kelp restoration efforts and take part in hands-on activities with native seaweeds to create your own cyanotype print to take home.

This event is part of Beaker Street Festival

Smart, surprising, and seriously entertaining: Beaker Street Festival is bringing its signature mix of science, art, and connection back to Lutruwita/Tasmania this August. Beaker Street Festival is Tasmania's annual celebration of science and culture.
