How Clearspring nori is produced:

Clearspring Nori seaweed is grown using traditional methods in Kyushu, Japan. While some seaweeds, such as hijiki, arame, and dulse, are harvested in the wild using sustainable methods, nori is grown extensively in Japan and other East Asian countries.

Nori has been grown in Japan for over 300 years. Every year, string nets with nori spores are tied to long bamboo poles in calm, shallow bays. The height of the nets is set so that they are exposed to the sun at low tide and the plants can be regularly rinsed with water at high tide.

During the winter months, the delicate nori plants grow until they cover the entire net. In late winter, the nori is harvested, brought ashore, washed, cut, pressed into thin sheets, and dried.
