Floating Kelp-Made Materials
SeaBrick is a New Buoyant Material Composed of Kelp Biomass
Kanesa D — January 30, 2024Addressing the challenges posed by rising sea levels, SeaBrick, a California-based company, introduces an innovative and sustainable solution for construction at sea. Unlike traditional methods relying on carbon-intensive concrete, SeaBrick offers an interlocking buoyant brick system reminiscent of Lego, primarily composed of kelp biomass. This unique composition allows the material to float on bodies of water.
By leveraging kelp biomass, Sea Brick offers a buoyant and interlocking structure and contributes to mitigating climate change challenges. While still in the prototype stage, Sea Brick is actively seeking additional funding to propel its innovative technology into practical application. The company envisions its interlocking buoyant brick system, predominantly crafted from kelp biomass, as a promising and sustainable sea construction alternative.
