Sign our pledge
Everyone has a role to play in securing a thriving future for seaweed ecosystems.
The Seaweed Breakthrough provides two pathways for individuals and organisations to demonstrate their commitment and contribute to this global effort. By endorsing/pledging through Pathway 1 or supporting through Pathway 2, participants become part of the GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT network, a growing international community united in advancing the conservation, restoration and sustainable management of seaweed ecosystems.
Whether you are representing an organisation or supporting as an individual, there is a pathway for you. The two participation pathways are outlined below.
Pathway 1
The Organisational Pathway
This is for local, national, regional and international organisations and institutional stakeholders, including governments, civil society organisations (CSOs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), private sector organisations, corporations, investors and philanthropic bodies. Through this route, organisations can make a formal declaration through endorsement or commitments to deliver tangible, measurable actions from the Conservation Menu , helping to advance the goals of the Seaweed Breakthrough and accelerate positive change at scale.
Organisations joining through this pathway become members of the GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT network and may be acknowledged at one of three levels:·
- GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT Advocate: Organisations that endorse the Seaweed Breakthrough but who cannot undertake a pledge in line with the conservation menu.
- GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT Champion: Organisations that commit to Pledge towards the actions across three or more of the five Seaweed Breakthrough Goals.
- GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT Partner: Organisations that commit to Pledge towards the actions across one or two of the five Seaweed Breakthrough Goals.
If you are planning to undertake the first pathway route through Endorsement or Endorsement and Pledge routes we are happy to liaise with you further as to help set out your Seaweed journey. To submit an expression of interest please choose the pathway 1 route and reach out to us. We will be holding workshops to assist Pathway 1 expression of interest parties with their route options.
Pathway 2
The Individual Supporter Pathway
This is for individual supporters, including researchers, farmers, practitioners, students and citizens. Individuals who share the vision of the Seaweed Breakthrough can support by joining the GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT network and championing healthy, resilient and sustainably managed seaweed ecosystems through their work, actions and spheres of influence.
Whether through raising awareness, sharing knowledge, supporting evidence-based solutions, inspiring others, or advocating for the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of seaweed resources, every contribution matters. Together, the collective efforts of organisations and individuals can build the momentum needed to transform the future of seaweed ecosystems and unlock their potential for people, nature and climate.
GlobalSeaweed-CONNECT – Supporter (Automatic) = Pathway 2: Individual who supports the Seaweed Breakthrough and seeks to advance seaweed conservation, restoration, sustainable production and equitable ocean stewardship in an individual capacity.
All correspondence through Pathway 1 and 2 will be reviewed and processed to check their validity and alignment to the chosen pathways.
