The product revolves around the cultivation of seaweed, which has a unique ability to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping mitigate climate change. This dual-purpose initiative also enhances coastal livelihoods through the development of a robust seaweed farming industry.

• Limited Economic Opportunities for Women, Youth, and Individuals with Disabilities: These groups often face barriers to economic participation in coastal economies. EcoBlue specifically targets them by providing skills training, leadership roles, and access to market opportunities, promoting inclusivity and empowerment.
• Climate Change Impact: Rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity are major concerns for coastal areas. EcoBlue addresses this by leveraging seaweed's natural ability to absorb carbon dioxide, offering a scalable solution for carbon sequestration and environmental restoration. </aside>
