    • Seagrass helps shrink waves to make storm and huricane damage less, as well as holding water to lower the risk of flooding. 
    • Ocean Foundation also is using it as a “Blue Carbon” tool.  Saying that it is a way of helping to lower climate change by planting it to offset emmissions.
  • A mix of american and canadian but reading it sounds like they are making it the canadiann way of aging each ingredient and finishing them separately before blending them 
  • The look of the bottle

    • Rounded bottle
    • Labels are pastel but bland
  • What is written on it
