Two women growers, one shared sea
Tatiana was the first to begin. She obtained permission to grow Kappaphycus alvarezii and spent the following months studying everything she could find about the seaweed — its uses in food, cosmetics and agriculture. She trained in Ceará and Paraty through a course offered by the CEPA/UFRJ project. She left shellfish farming behind and committed fully to seaweed. In January 2023, she opened her Seaweed Processing Unit for Human Consumption.
Nerciane followed the same path: Epagri’s seaweed farming meetings. That is where the two met. An invitation to a fair came next, followed by the first recipes tested together — and the certainty that they were already partners.
Algamos grew from this partnership between Tatiana’s Algama Fazenda Marinha and Nerciane’s Rosa do Mar Fazenda Marinha. Our name brings together the Portuguese words alga, vamos and amamos: seaweed, let’s go and we love. Together.
- The beginning Tatiana obtains permission to grow seaweed and immerses herself in studying the species.
- Training Training in Ceará and Paraty through a CEPA/UFRJ project course.
- The turning point Shellfish farming ends, making way for a full commitment to seaweed.
- January 2023 Opening of the Seaweed Processing Unit for Human Consumption, made possible by a loan from the state government’s FDR fund, secured through participation in the Flor & Ser course run by Epagri.
- The meeting Nerciane and Tatiana meet at Epagri’s seaweed farming meetings.
- Today The partnership becomes Algamos: dried seaweed, food and cosmetics from the same farm.
Why seaweed
Seaweed is one of the most complete foods the sea offers — and it grows without land, fresh water, fertilizers or pesticides.
Growing seaweed also helps regenerate its environment: it absorbs nutrients from the water and provides shelter for marine life around the farm.
A way of farming that gives back.
Our work is to introduce this seaweed to Brazil. We grow responsibly, process with care and receive support from research institutions such as Epagri and UFSC so that seaweed can take its rightful place: in food, personal care and the livelihoods of people who live from the sea.
No land
Grows in the sea without taking up farmland.
No fresh water
No drinking water is consumed during cultivation.
No fertilizers
Feeds on nutrients already present in the water.
No pesticides
Clean cultivation, straight from the sea to processing.
It even helps clean the air: seaweed captures CO₂ through photosynthesis, converting it into biomass and releasing oxygen into the environment.
