Hi Holdfast Crew - I hope you all are doing well, and that everyone is having a great holiday season as you prep for the New Year!

I’m reaching out today to let you all know that we will no longer be monitoring this Holdfast platform starting January 1, 2024, so as such we have created a LinkedIn group that will serve as the platform for this Holdfast Social License to Operate group to connect and share content on going forward.

When you get a chance, please visit the following link that will take you to the hidden group on LinkedIn (you won’t be able to find it just by searching) and hit the “Request to Join” button when prompted: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14365059/

Over the next couple of weeks, our team will plan on adding all of the content that’s been curated on Holdfast over the year so that you can still find all of the relevant work that you may want to revisit. We also encourage you all to continue sharing posts, stories, research, etc. so that you can support one another’s work and continue to make connections.

We’ve enjoyed getting to work with you all and are super proud of all of the work we’ve accomplished together – looking forward to seeing how this group continues to grow in the future.

Let us know if you have any questions or issues joining, thanks!

Hey Everyone - hope you're all enjoying the weekend!

The AO team is on a mission to learn more about how seaweed is starting to be more and more incorporated into everyday products. So, we want to hear from YOU on how you're seeing seaweed come onto the scene, whether that be through consumables from our friends at Atlantic Sea Farms, or cosmetics like La Mer facial cream.

Drop a comment below and let us know about some of your favorite seaweed-based products currently on the market!

Hi everyone!

is going to be in Portland September 6 - 7 for Seagriculture '23 and is hoping for the opportunity to visit kelp/seaweed farms while in town. If you can please either comment below or reach out to Margarent directly (margaretpilaro@gmail.com) if you have any leads we would really appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Hey Holdfast Crew - Hope everyone had a safe and fun Fourth of July weekend!

I wanted to quickly share a one-sheeter template that can be downloaded and used by your different groups however you see fit. This particular flyer speaks to incorporating seaweed as a part of a healthy diet, but groups are welcomed/encouraged to change the messaging and imagery as needed for your specific needs. It is built in Microsoft Word so should be easily editable.

We'll continue to share more assets like this as they are created, but please don't hesitate to reach out in the meantime if you have any questions or need any assistance.
