Iceland: Gyde launches Iceland’s first blue community garden
Whale watching is a very important industry in Húsavík, but at the same time it’s important for a small community to be able to diversify its economy.”

Excerpt:
“I’m developing a blue community garden in Húsavík in northern Iceland. It’s the first of its kind in the country. We have just deployed the platform in the sea, and the idea is to create a space where people can learn more about the sea and get involved in cultivating seaweed and mussels.”
“The project is very much about bringing people together. I want the site to be used not only for cultivation, but also for education, research, and activities involving the local community.”
“When I was studying for my Master’s degree in Sea and Society in Gothenburg, we went on a study visit to Flytevi, the blue community garden in Frihamnen. I was really inspired and told one of the managers at the innovation centre here in Húsavík about it. She gave me the task of creating something similar – and now here it is!”
“During the programme, we learnt how many different interests have to coexist in the sea and how complicated it can be, for example, to plan activities in a harbour. Now I get to put my knowledge into practice.”
“It varies! I write grant applications, collaborate with researchers, students and architects, and liaise with local businesses.”
“At the moment, we’re working on developing a student and volunteer programme and partnerships with schools, amongst other things. When we were building the platform itself, I was also involved in the practical construction work. The next step is to start farming, for example seaweed or mussels.”
