Whether you are a producer or a consumer of microalgae or seaweed, you need to ensure you have a long-term supply of good quality raw material in sufficient quantities with traceability and produced in environmentally friendly conditions.
However, access to the “algae” resource depends on the availability of each species in the natural environment and on the existence of algal culture collections. For a sustainable management of the resource, the distribution, ecology and biology (life cycle) of each species should therefore be characterised.
With more than 30 years experience in the study of microalgae and seaweed, the CEVA offers these specific skills securing the sustainable development and management of your algae resource, whether harvested from the natural environment or selected from culture collections for cultivation.
