Asparagopsis from the Abrolhos Islands.
A native seaweed that cuts cattle methane by up to 98%. Grown where it grows wild.
A 10% problem with a 1% solution.
The supplement works. The bottleneck is supply.
98%
Methane reduction in cattle when fed asparagopsis. CSIRO peer-reviewed trials.
10%
Of global greenhouse emissions come from livestock. The largest single source is enteric methane.

Inclusion required in the animal's daily diet. A small additive, a measurable result.
Galapagos of the Indian Ocean.
The Houtman Abrolhos sits 65 to 90 kilometres off the coast of Geraldton, Western Australia. A-class marine reserve. Recognised as a global Hope Spot by Mission Blue. Often described as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean.
The Western Australian government has gazetted the 3,000-hectare Mid-West Aquaculture Development Zone here, set up for low-impact marine aquaculture under strict environmental conditions.
Asparagopsis grows wild across the reef. That's the proof point. These waters were made for it.

Working with the ecosystem.
Long-line cultivation, suspended in open water. No feed inputs. No chemicals. Nutrients drawn directly from the ocean. A simple, low-impact loop that scales with demand.
Building Australia's next asparagopsis supply.
Seaweed Abrolhos Islands is in early-stage development. We're talking to investors, government partners, research collaborators and producers.
