We place your demands at the heart of our research and development.
Preserving Biodiversity, Growing Sustainably
The ideal farming conditions for Nannochloropsis Oceanica have led us next to the Aegean Sea, in Greece, to best harvest the sun, borrow her clear waters and return them even cleaner.
At Plankton First, we have chosen a special location nestled within a Natura 2000 site to cultivate NannOcea™. This European network of protected nature sites ensures the preservation of rare species and their habitats. Committed to sustainable practices, we adhere to strict guidelines, allowing us to grow NannOcea™ responsibly while safeguarding biodiversity.

Q&A
We chose to produce in Greece, specifically within a Natura 2000 area, for several compelling reasons. The region offers the perfect weather conditions for our operations, with abundant sunlight, optimal humidity levels, and an ideal balance of rainfall.
These factors create an environment which helps our phytoplankton grow.
Moreover, our commitment to environmental sustainability is reflected in our practices. We responsibly borrow water from the sea and return it even cleaner.
Our activities are designed to have zero negative impact on the environment, and we take pride in contributing positively to our surroundings. In fact, algae play a crucial role in capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), actively contributing to environmental conservation.
By harnessing the power of phytoplankton, we not only minimize our carbon footprint but also promote a net-positive impact on the environment. We are dedicated to fostering a harmonious relationship with nature, ensuring that our production practices align with the principles of ecological responsibility and sustainability.
