INTERNATIONAL SEAWEED SYMPOSIUM 2025
May 4 – 9, 2025 | Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Igniting Innovation: Building on the past to advance the seaweed momentum
THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE INTERNATIONAL SEAWEED SYMPOSIUM 2025!
The International Seaweed Association (ISA) is pleased to present the 25th anniversary of the International Seaweed Symposium (ISS) in a beautiful coastal city on the west coast of Canada. Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, is located on the traditional territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees) and Xwsepsum (Esquimalt) and W̱SÁNEĆ Nations (Saanich Peninsula). The theme of our next conference aims to honour and acknowledge the rich history and connection Indigenous Peoples have had with seaweed for milenia, while paying tribute to the innovators of seaweed research, who have laid the foundation for advancements in seaweed technology which we continue to build upon today and develop into the future. The 25th ISS invites industry professionals, academics, students, and Indigenous Peoples from around the world to connect, learn and exchange knowledge about all forms of seaweed, to join us in creating a welcoming, informative and memorable event.

The National Organizing Committee
The City of Victoria, Ocean Networks Canada, and Cascadia Seaweed hosted the 25th International Seaweed Symposium May 4 – 9, 2025 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
We acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory Victoria, British Columbia stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
Long before Victoria’s founding in 1843, these lands have been home to Indigenous Peoples, who have lived on and cared for them since time immemorial. Annually, approximately 4 million people visit Victoria to experience some of the best that Canada has to offer.
