Headquartered on the Caribbean coast of Panama and founded in 2018, Panasea is the first open-ocean sea cucumber hatchery.

We are guided by Three Interconnected Beliefs:

– We can supply the market’s growing demand for sea cucumbers; AND

– We can protect and preserve the local marine ecosystem; AND

– We can provide jobs to a challenged local economy.



Our Mission

To meet the global demand for sea cucumbers created by depletion due to overfishing;

To regenerate local populations of sea cucumbers with all their myriad environmental benefits;

To provide economic opportunities in impoverished Caribbean regions.
