Reimagining kelp farms and ocean ecosystems through community-powered technology

What We Do

Deep Blue Drawdown develops technology that makes kelp farming easier, safer, and more sustainable.

Our primary innovation is an AI-powered smart buoy that monitors ocean conditions and kelp biomass in real time, giving farmers the data they need to optimize harvests, reduce costs, and minimize risk—eliminating the need for costly in-person monitoring while improving yields and quality.

We're guided by a "high tech low tech" philosophy: using affordable, off-the-shelf materials and biodegradable components to create powerful, accessible tools that work for farmers and the planet.

Our Vision

Our kelp technology is being developed in deep partnership with kelp farmers, prioritizing Indigenous-led farms and coastal communities who are the original stewards of these waters.

We envision a future where smart, accessible technology strengthens working kelp farms, supports large-scale ocean restoration efforts, and creates pathways for communities to benefit from the growing kelp economy—whether through improved farm profitability, ecosystem services, or new opportunities in the emerging blue economy.
