Marrawah Kelp Pty Ltd was registered as a private company in August 2000.

The company was made up from the members of the old West Coast Kelp Harvesters Association, who had previously collected and processed kelp and shipped to Kelp industries King Island.

The company were given the rights and leases required to operate legally and sustainable, to collect and process Bull Kelp (Druvillea Potatorum) by the State Government of Tasmania for the areas from Bluff Hill Point Marrawah to Dartys Corner Temma on the West Coast of Tasmania. The company’s factory and drying racks are established at 451 Arthur River Road Marrawah Tasmania.  

The personnel in the formative years of the company Tony Jackson, Colin Lynn and Darrell Roberts are all still involved with the company today, joined by Tony’s sons Saxon and Justin Jackson.

All Kelp is legally and sustainably collected after having completed and complied with all requirements (Environment Impact Studies and Reserve Activity Assessments from Parks and Wildlife, Fisheries Department and Cultural Heritage studies.
