Our mission
Turning a Problematic Seaweed into Socio-Economic Opportunity.
OUR VISION
Circular Bioprocessing from Sea to Soil – we envision food security, climate resilience, and community empowerment all derived from simple, natural, products and processes.
Our Innovative Marine-based Products are designed for use in diverse sectors including Agriculture, Horticulture, Hydroponics, and Industry.
FAQs
Can Cody products replace my traditional NPK fertilizer?
No, and it shouldn't. Biostimulants are "system primers," not direct food. They improve Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE). This means farmers can reduce their nitrogen inputs. The seaweed element (Sargassum) helps the plant "unlock" the nutrients already sitting in the soil and reduces leaching into the local water table.
How does Sargassum handle 'Abiotic Stress' differently than other seaweed?
While many products use Ascophyllum nodosum (cold-water kelp), Sargassum is a tropical/sub-tropical species that has evolved to thrive in high-intensity UV and heat. Our extract is rich in compounds that act as "sunscreen" for the plant's cells, which helps a plants ability to ‘breathe’ and prevents wilt, even when temperatures exceed 30oC.
Are there any risks of heavy metal or salt contamination from the seaweed?
This is a common concern with marine-derived inputs. We ensure our product batches undergo rigorous testing to meet CEN/TS 17707:2023 standards for safety. We specifically monitor for Inorganic Arsenic and Cadmium, which Sargassum can naturally accumulate. Furthermore, our proprietary heavy-metal sorbent and low-energy extraction process removes excess heavy metals and sea salts, ensuring that the final product has a low Electrical Conductivity (EC) that is safe for sensitive root systems and "dead" soil remediation projects.
Does removing Sargassum from the Ocean negatively impact local ecosystems and nutrient cycling?
Whilst removing Sargassum entirely can have negative impacts on immediate ecosystems due to it serving several valuable services, our method of harvesting is partial and near-shore – preventing displacement of species and ensuring we capture biomass destined for the beaches.
Sargassum serves as an effective carbon sink naturally, with dead biomass floating to the bottom of the ocean and “locking up” carbon. This value is not lost in our processes – with remnant biomass being converted into Biochar for effective Carbon lockup.
Can Cody products work in poor or ‘dead’ soils?
Yes – but not as a quick fix. Our products help rebuild biological activity by stimulating microbial populations. In degraded or compacted soils, this can gradually restore nutrient cycling and soil structure.
While results may take longer compared to healthy soils, consistent use can significantly improve productivity over time without relying solely on synthetic inputs.
OUR WORK
Embedded in both the UK and Barbados, Cody Blue’s laboratory-developed formulations support sustainable agriculture practices through improved soil. They boost yields and improve health and in crops and animals. Circularity is a core principle of our work, utilising waste streams, locking carbon and reducing water usage (environmental resilience).
