SustainCycle – Vertical farming of abalone / SustainCycle - Lóðrétt Stórskalaeldi á Sæeyrum

The aim of the project was to build a foundation to expand abalone production in Iceland. The international market has grown incredibly during the last 10-15 years and will continue to grow. Currently, Sæbýli has built an aquafarm in Eyrarbakki and Þorlákshöfn and grow small scale abalone...
