Seaweed farmer seeks lease transfer
GOULDSBORO A Gouldsboro-based seaweed farmer is looking to officially hop on a lease in Frenchman Bay off Sorrento.
Sarah Redmond, the owner of Springtide Seaweed, has put in an application to be added to the lease of James West, who has had an experimental and commercial horizontal longline culture of marine algae at the 35-acre parcel since 2013.
Redmond has been managing the farm off Preble Island for West for the last five years in an agreement to try and help each other out, West said. The lease runs through May 21, 2025.
In addition to growing seaweed, Springtide Seaweed also provides seed to commercial and hobby farmers in New England and dries and processes its seaweeds.
