Submit an organization profile

Profiles go to review before appearing in the marketplace. Nothing you enter is scored automatically — the Certified Restorative assessment is applied per role, after review.

This is a prototype form. Nothing is submitted, transmitted, or stored anywhere. Please don't enter real contact details, permit numbers, or anything you wouldn't want to type into a page that does nothing with it. Use placeholder text to see how it works.

Your organization

Basic details shown at the top of your public profile.

Two or three sentences. Buyers read this before anything else.
If you're unsure, we'll check against CDFW and KelpWatch records during review rather than asking you to.

What you do

Select every role that applies. You'll be assessed separately for each one, because a harvester and a ranching facility are judged on different things.

Harvester

Harvest practice

These feed the restoration contribution score — the criterion that separates Restorative from Sustainable.

If you or a monitoring partner have measured urchin density before and after, note it here.
Ranching facility

Facility practice

Land-based operations carry risks a dive operation doesn't. Discharge management is assessed here.

Published feeding studies reach marketable roe yield at roughly ten weeks.
Supplier

Product & permits

Education & verification

Programming

Disclosures

These appear on your profile exactly as entered, labelled as self-reported.

Carbon is never scored as a number here. Kelp carbon sequestration is unsettled science, and a clean figure would imply more rigor than exists.
Leave blank if not applicable. Blank displays as “Not disclosed” — not as a mark against you.
