SARGASSUM SEAWEED SHIPPED TO FINLAND FOR NEW INITIATIVE The twin islands have shipped 202 lbs of the invasive sargassum seaweed as part of a new initiative that is being explored by Origin by Ocean, a Finnish company being incubated within the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) Global Innovation Centre in Sweden. This shipment is for the first phase of a project to design a new biorefinery process (Nauvu™) for the extraction of biomolecules for use in food, cosmetics and domestic detergent, all from marine biomass. It will be used for initial reference trials against the benchmark feedstock of bladderwrack seaweed. More shipments will be made in coming weeks.
ANTIGUA & BARBUDA MUSIC WEEK Limerz INC, creators and producers of events in the United States, held a week-long Antigua Music Week where artists, radio stations, Mas Bands, local and international DJs, blogs and social media influencers celebrated the music of the twin islands.
