Norway's Green Platform awarded NOK 47 million to the Ava Ocean-led Ocean Green consortium for sea-urchin harvesting and kelp-forest restoration.

  • The three-year Ocean Green project targets sea-urchin barrens in northern Norway.
  • Ava Ocean will adapt its low-impact seabed technology to harvest urchins efficiently without damaging recovering ecosystems.
  • Consortium partners will develop products from harvested urchins to create a circular restoration value chain.

Ava Ocean develops seabed harvesting technology designed to collect seafood resources while monitoring and protecting marine ecosystems. Founded in Ålesund, the company combines specialised vessels, sensors and precision subsea equipment for selective ocean operations.
