Tidal Vision turns Alaska seafood waste into chitosan and aquatic leather, opens SC plant and plans Bellingham expansion

Craig Kasberg’s Bellingham, Wash.–based company Tidal Vision converts seafood waste—salmon skin and discarded crab shells—into sustainable products like aquatic leather and chitosan using green chemistry. The company opened a South Carolina production site in July 2021 and will build a larger facility in Bellingham to scale U.S. commercial chitosan production for uses such as water purification, textile treatment and agriculture.
