The typical process to secure a seaweed licence from the province can take up to three years, Tsawout said in a February announcement. By contrast, the Nation considered Cascadia’s pitch and issued a licence in less than five months.
This year’s kelp harvest was trucked to Hub City Fisheries, a Nanaimo processor. In business since 1980, Hub City in peak seasons used to operate around the clock and employ up to 150 people at a time, owner Roger Paquette says. According to federal figures, crop and animal production accounted for about 10 per cent of Canada’s overall greenhouse gas emissions in 2020.
For several years, Cascadia and research partners have been looking into seaweed as an agricultural food additive. Studies have shown some potential to reduce methane by adding seaweed to cow feed. In April, Cascadia was one of six companies to receive grants through the federal government’s agri-science program, landing up to $533,475 to look at three types of seaweed as an alternative feedstock for cattle.
