Last update: 7 hours agoLand-Based Seaweed Push: CJ CheilJedang will break ground in August on a commercial-scale onshore seaweed farm in Cheonan, aiming for year-round, consistent-quality production for Bibigo products—an effort to scale beyond seasonal ocean limits. Upcycled Seafood Snacking: Thai Union is leaning into protein and whole-food trends with MONORI snacks, built from shrimp processing byproducts like crispy shrimp cheeks, turning waste streams into shelf-ready products. Fisheries Tech Reliability: South Australia’s Cape du Couedic wave buoy is back out of service again after repeated failures, cutting off wave data relied on by divers, fishers, and ocean researchers. Ocean Monitoring Risk: Alaska fishers and scientists are alarmed as a federal plan would retire the Ocean Observatories Initiative, removing real-time deep-ocean data used to manage salmon and crab downturns and forecast extreme events. Market Watch (NZ): The NZX 50 opened slightly higher (+0.1%) with gains led by Air New Zealand (+6%) and SkyCity (+5%), while Oceania Healthcare slipped (-2%).
