Design of an Eco-anchor: scaling up sustainably

The Noordzee boerderij is working on a sustainable anchoring system that holds the sea farm in place, is nature-friendly and built from safe materials. The anchoring system is an essential part of the sea farm and important for upscaling the seaweed sector. During the dismantling of the installation, the eco-anchor can be left in place and be reused in the next season. In the meantime, the anchor can function to create nature. This initiative comes from the farmer and proves that structural changes can be implemented to allow reuse of aquaculture materials, as is the responsibility of the farmer.
