Salicornia Farming
Polishing of discharge water
Using the discharge water from our marine pilot systems (turbot and shrimp) - we have developed the technology to produce the highest quality Marsh Samphire - Salicornia - for human consumption. Test marketing has proved the product a success with top restaurants and retailers.Using horticultural 'polytunnels' and specially designed culture beds we achieve an output of up to 10 kg per square metre per year and are the only UK producer.
Not only does the system provide a saleable, high quality product from the waste water stream, but has proved highly effective in removing excess nutrients thus reducing environmental impact.
