Seaweed diving with Gabriella D'Cruz of The Good Ocean | Episode 05

In this episode we're talking all about SEAWEED! And who better to connect with than the specialist herself, Gabriella D'Cruz - a Marine Conservationist & Founder of The Good Ocean, a seaweed superfoods company looking to change the way we view our oceans.

Join us for a conversation & exploration of Goa's potential as a hub not only for Seaweed cultivation but for homegrown businesses & innovative initiatives. Gabriella takes us on the journey from growing up in Goa to studying abroad, working in a seaweed mansion in Edinburgh and ultimately finding her way back home to set up a business of her own in Goa.

Not to mention, Gabriella's involvement in numerous environmental campaigns such as the current #SAVEMOLLEMGOA which she discusses here and you can follow along on the campaign's Instagram page @savemollemgoa. To learn more about the incredible biodiversity of Goa's Mollem Wildlife Sanctuary that is currently under threat of 3 large development projects, we highly suggest reading this article 'Three projects and massive coal corridor worry Goa' by Ashwini Kamat for Civil Society Online.

You can find out more about The Good Ocean by following @thegoodocean on Instagram where Gabriella will keep you up to date on upcoming seaweed food products as well as fresh batches of cat & dog treats. Or simply follow along to enjoy the stunning imagery she shares from day to day life on Goa's stunning coast. Cover art photo credit: @sumehr
