Coast 4C is a social enterprise that operates in the field of regenerative seaweed aquaculture. Launched by ZSL in 2020, the company's mission is to drive ocean and climate restoration through the development of inclusive value chains for regenerative seaweed and end-of-life fishing nets. The company's business model is centered around the "4Cs" - Communities, Commerce, Conservation, and Climate.

Coast 4C serves a diverse range of clients, including seaweed farmers and global markets interested in sustainable and responsible commerce. The company's operations span across various regions, with successful projects in the Philippines, Cameroon, and Indonesia.

The company generates revenue by creating and managing value chains for regenerative seaweed and end-of-life fishing nets. These value chains not only provide a source of income for local communities but also help to tackle marine plastic pollution and contribute to climate restoration.

Coast 4C has been recognized for its innovative approach and positive impact on biodiversity. It was the winner of the World Economic Forum UpLink and Friends of Ocean Action ‘Blue Food Challenge’ in 2021 and was featured in a Credit Suisse report on “Engaging for the Blue Economy”.
