Website Design and Implementation Fellow

About the Organization:

We're on a mission to restore marine biodiversity and sequester carbon by cultivating giant kelp forests.

Together with our foundation we are addressing the gaps in the science and knowledge around kelp forests' ecosystems. We want to raise awareness about the ecological importance of kelp forests, drive research, build knowledge and strengthen the science around giant kelp. We also focus research efforts in understanding the ecological benefits of kelp products such as our biostimulant - a product applied on crops to make them stronger from within, allowing farmers to use less chemical fertilisers.

Our HQ's are in Amsterdam, but our operations are in Ludertiz, Namibia. We're a wildly international team and are passionate about progress and our planet.
