What’s the Deal with Urchins? Urchins play a critical role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems, but when they overpopulate, they can devastate kelp forests. Eating sustainably farmed urchins helps restore balance to our oceans by allowing the re-growth of kelp forests! 🌊

Meet Dr. Nik Sachlikidis, our Chief Scientific & Technology Officer 🦪 With 25+ years in aquaculture, Nik's work is key to our mission of protecting marine ecosystems and promoting a sustainable seafood supply. 🌍

Supporting local communities is at the heart of what we do 🌍 The Urchinomics model creates jobs and boosts coastal economies reliant on marine resources. By partnering with local fishers, we’re building sustainable livelihoods linked to ocean conservation. #Sustainability

Rather than simply removing or culling malnourished urchins, Urchinomics converts these otherwise inedible urchins into premium seafood 🍣 This creates a circular economy where ecological restoration and delicious seafood production go hand in hand.

To create our finest uni, we remove skinny urchins from the ocean floor, feed them in monitored tanks, and in 10 weeks they're prepared as premium uni. Our sustainable approach brings top-quality uni to high-end restaurants worldwide while supporting healthier oceans. 🦀🍣

Meet Perry Bevin, Co-CEO of Urchinomics! With 30 years of high-level leadership experience, Perry joined us in Febuary 2023, bringing his expertise in scaling global businesses. Passionate about sustainability, he’s leading change in aquaculture as we rebuild our oceans together.

Why is our urchin farming amazing? Urchinomics removes overpopulated sea urchins from barren areas, allowing kelp forests to regenerate. 🌿These kelp forests are crucial for marine ecosystems, acting as habitats for many species and fighting climate change by sequestering carbon.

2024 has brought achievements galore! This year alone, we’ve partnered with both @nyklineofficial and @akindosushiroco in Japan.
