Join the Movement Building Belize’s Seaweed Future
The Belize Women’s Seaweed Farmers Association (BWSFA) is growing a national, women-led seaweed industry grounded in regenerative mariculture, community leadership, economic opportunity, and coastal resilience. Membership is open to women and youth, and also welcomes men and non-Belizeans as associate members who want to participate in a transparent, community-driven, and fast-growing Blue Economy sector.
When you become a member, you join a network of farmers, professionals, processors, innovators, tour guides, entrepreneurs, and ocean stewards working together to build a strong domestic seaweed industry and a globally recognized Caribbean seaweed brand.
