Alaska Journal | FISH FACTOR: Kelp farm permits still more popular than shellfish

Alaskan interest in growing kelp continues to outpace that of shellfish, based on applications filed during the annual window that runs from January through April.

Interest in growing kelp outpaces shellfish in Alaska

Alaskan interest in growing kelp continues to outpace that of shellfish, based on applications filed during the annual window that runs from January through April. The number of 2021 applicants dropped to just seven, reversing a steady upward trend that reached 16 last year, likely due to a “wait and see” approach stemming from the pandemic. “We had people whose personal situations changed because of COVID. They became homeschooling parents, things like that, where they can no longer dedicate the time they thought they were going to have out on a farm site,” said Michell Morris, permit coordinator at the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game.

Kelp processing brings jobs to Kodiak

The COVID-19 pandemic made it nearly impossible for kelp farm owners Lexa Meyer and her husband Alf Pryor to process their harvest last year. Despite the inability to bring in outside workers due to travel restrictions, they managed to complete the harvest by hiring 25 to 30 locals to help.  In addition to owning the kelp farm, Meyer also works as the Alaska mariculture manager for Blue Evolution, a California-based company that makes kelp products. She said Blue Evolution is able hire people for about six weeks to process kelp during the harvest season. This occurs during the spring, at a time of the year when there is typically less fisheries work because processors are preparing for the summer salmon season.
