About us
Welcome to Seaweednews - information about all things Australian seaweed : ancient knowledge, the latest science, current endeavours, and future potential.
Seaweednews.au is an initiative from the creative team at Coretext, a Melbourne-based communications and client publishing company.
​
Our journalists and science writers, designers, and project managers specialise in creating content that shares research and innovation ideas with industry stakeholders and the broader community. We have a particular focus on primary industries – agriculture and fisheries.
Over the past decade, we’ve been developing our knowledge and publishing seaweed-related information for our clients. We’ve worked with Australia’s leading scientists in this field, as well as industry participants large and small and community members to share news about the latest development and activities.
In doing so, we’ve developed an appreciation for what macroalgae have to offer – and how much more there is still to discover. We want to share the love.
​
Please get in touch if you have any tips for seaweed-related stories to share, or you’d like to work with us.
