Regenerating Biodiversity
We are committed to harnessing the bio-fortifying power of seaweeds to regenerate biodiversity and promote environmental sustainability. Our solutions are grounded in applied science derived from precision agriculture, combined with traditional knowledge aimed to improve the survival and resilience of native species.
Why Seaweed?
Over 600 seaweed species live in the coastal waters of British Columbia. For hundreds of years, farmers around the world have worked seaweed into their fields to improve soil quality and increase crop productivity. Through experience, they learned what works, without really understanding how seaweeds improve crops. Today, as science has advanced knowledge, processes have been developed to refine seaweeds to produce extracts that fortify plants, allowing them to quickly take-up beneficial elements and compounds in the seaweed, triggering processes that improve growth, yield, and resilience.
Our Solutions
Our solutions enable companies in the extractive sectors to become nature-positive. By integrating ORA's solutions, we can transform the cost of land rehabilitation into an investment that generates financial returns and ecosystem services. We help companies steward biodiversity, essential for sustainable natural resource utilization.
Regulatory Compliance Support
ORA provides comprehensive support to ensure regulatory compliance, including navigating and adhering to formalized ESG requirements such as climate resilience and carbon reduction standards. We assist in risk assessment, aquaculture, action plan development, and progress tracking to ensure businesses meet regulatory obligations effectively.
Strategic Action Planning
Our strategic action planning involves developing detailed plans benchmarked to timelines for the execution of environmental commitments. We meticulously track material progress to ensure the successful implementation of sustainability initiatives.
Scientific Expertise and Scalable Solutions
Leveraging our scientific expertise in horticulture, agriculture, and silviculture, we accelerate biodiversity regeneration. We harness the unique properties of seaweed to offer scalable solutions for ecosystem restoration.
Carbon Lifecycle Assessment
We track carbon emissions and sequestration across the lifecycle of our solutions from seaweed cultivation and harvesting to refining, transportation and applications to optimize biodiversity regeneration that enables native species to flourish. Working with our partners, our aim is to convert ten grams of seaweed into ten kilograms of sequestered carbon - at massive scale.
Seaweeds as Landscape Salves
ORA's bio/physical processes utilize 100% of sustainably harvested and cultivated seaweed biomass. By optimizing the utilization of seaweed resources, we minimize waste and promote responsible resource stewardship. We share knowledge and provide mentorship to empower others in harvesting, cultivation, and the use of seaweed-derived bioactive products.
Land Rehabilitation
ORA's solutions promote plant and tree growth of native species to regenerate biodiversity, working with mining companies to rewild and restore degraded landscapes. This enables long-term environmental sustainability and ecosystem health, demonstrating responsible resource stewardship in action.
