About 12 Tides

12 Tides is on a mission to reverse climate change one kelp chip at a time. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the company was founded in 2019 by a life-long ocean conservationist with a mission to reimagine our relationship with the oceans through tasty seaweed snacks. As a Certified B Corporation the ocean activists at 12 Tides firmly believe that businesses have a responsibility to think about their social and environmental impact. Their solution: the world’s first regenerative organic kelp snack. The plant-based, nutrient-dense, organic puffed kelp chips are specially crafted from kelp grown in small-scale regenerative ocean farms in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. This resource-efficient food production method is proven to positively impact surrounding water quality and marine life while aiding in removing CO2 from our oceans. Kelp is also a zero-input crop, meaning farming it requires no pesticides, no fertilizers, no arable land and no fresh water. 12 Tides is a proud member of 1% for the Planet and currently contributes one percent of all annual sales to SeeTrees, an organization that supports efforts in the reforestation of California kelp forests and other ocean conservation projects. To top it off, 12 Tides packs their snacks in an innovative compostable pouch, ensuring that no plastic ends up in our waterways. Read their story
