🌊🇰🇷 HAENYEO — Women of the Sea 🌊

Haenyeo are Korea’s traditional women divers who harvest seafood and seaweed by breath-hold diving — without oxygen tanks.

But being a haenyeo is more than knowing how to dive.
It means learning to read the sea — the tides, waves, weather, seasons, and marine life.

Their knowledge is passed down through generations, together with a strong culture of community, safety, and respect for the ocean.

To become a haenyeo, you learn step by step:
Learn → Dive → Observe → Learn from senior haenyeo.

More than a profession, haenyeo represent a way of life where people, community, and the sea exist together.

A life shaped by the sea.
Knowledge shaped by generations. 🌊

Seaweed, Not-plastic.
Not all materials should be designed to last forever.

For decades, every day, we all use plastic items designed to be used for a moment, that then last for decades.

But there is another way…

Instead of disposable or single-use items made from synthetic materials we use natural replacements.

We use seaweed and plants to create materials designed to disappear naturally, without leaving a lasting trace.

Sea to soil.

Notpla are already doing this, at scale, replacing everyday items: from takeaway food packaging to ice cream spoons, sachets to home care, beauty and beyond.

To date we’ve replaced over 48 million single-use items and climbing fast.

Are you ready to join the not-plastic revolution?

🌊 Meet Dulse — the Red Seaweed of the North Atlantic

Deep red, naturally savory, and surprisingly versatile.

Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an edible red seaweed traditionally eaten along the North Atlantic coasts of Ireland, Iceland, Canada, and northern Europe. It can be eaten fresh, dried into flakes, or added to soups, salads, bread, and other dishes.

What makes Dulse special? 🌿

It naturally contains protein, dietary fiber, and a variety of minerals, including iodine, potassium, iron, magnesium and calcium. Its protein content can be relatively high for seaweed and includes many essential amino acids.

And the flavor?
Salty. Savory. Full of umami.

That natural umami makes Dulse an easy way to bring more flavor—and a little taste of the ocean—to everyday food.

🥗 Sprinkle the flakes over salads
🍚 Add them to rice
🍲 Mix into soups
🥪 Or simply enjoy dried Dulse as a snack

One thing to remember: like many seaweeds, Dulse can contain significant amounts of iodine, and levels vary by season and origin, so more isn’t necessarily better.

Small seaweed. Big character.
Meet Dulse ❤️🌊

🎂 Why do Koreans eat seaweed soup on their birthdays?

In many countries, birthdays begin with cake.

In Korea, they begin with a warm bowl of Miyeokguk (seaweed soup).

This tradition has been passed down for generations.

After childbirth, Korean mothers traditionally eat seaweed soup because it’s rich in nutrients like iodine, calcium, and iron, helping them recover 🔬👩🏽‍🔬

So every birthday, we eat Miyeokguk to remember the day we were born—and to honor the person who gave us life.

It’s more than just soup 🥣

It’s gratitude 🙏

It’s love 🫶🏻

It’s a quiet reminder that every birthday belongs not only to us, but also to our mothers 🤰🏻

That’s why millions of Koreans still begin their birthday with a bowl of seaweed soup 💞

💚 Happy Birthday.
And don’t forget your Miyeokguk 😘

🌊 Meet the Sea Palm Kelp 🌴

It may look like a miniature palm tree, but this is actually a species of kelp.

Sea Palm (Postelsia palmaeformis) is one of the world’s most extraordinary brown seaweeds. It grows only along the wave-battered rocky shores of the Pacific coast, from central California to Alaska.

Unlike most kelps that remain submerged, Sea Palm thrives in the intertidal zone, enduring powerful waves twice every day. Its flexible blades bend with the surf instead of resisting it—a remarkable example of nature’s engineering.

Although edible when young, Sea Palm is relatively rare and is carefully harvested to protect wild populations.

🌿 Fun Facts
• One of the only kelps that resembles a palm tree
• Lives in one of the harshest coastal environments on Earth
• Native to the Pacific coast of North America
• Scientific name: Postelsia palmaeformis

Sometimes the strongest life isn’t the one that resists the waves—it’s the one that learns to move with them 👩🏽‍🔬
