Blutopia Rhodes/LAMAR

Rhodes, Greece

Blutopia is a family run aquaculture tourism business that has been leading the way in marine ecotourism and diving for the past 15 years.

They’re situated on the southernmost tip of Greece, on the island of Rhodes, which has a beautiful coastline of around 220 km.

Here, Blutopia operates a multispecies open-net pen farm while also running tourism experiences to introduce people to aquaculture and responsible seafood production.

I’ll never understand why people think aquaculture is an ugly thing; they don’t want the cages in “ruining” their view, they think the ocean is murky and polluted, but god damn, this place is the opposite of that.

Crystal clear blue seas for as far as the eye can see. Visibility to incredible depths. Wildlife, so much wildlife. 

This is aquaculture, succeeding in one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever seen. 

I visited Blutopia in Rhodes with the team from BioMar, a global leader in sustainable aquaculture feed.
