Built for Scale. Rooted in Alaska.

Seagrove was founded in Southeast Alaska with a clear mission: to build a modern mariculture company capable of producing world-class oysters while creating long-term economic opportunity in coastal communities.

Today, Seagrove operates Alaska’s largest vertically integrated multi-species mariculture platform, cultivating oysters and kelp across more than 300 acres of permitted farm sites. By integrating farming, processing, storage, and logistics under one Alaska-based operation, Seagrove delivers a consistent, traceable product to chefs, buyers, and distributors across the country.

Seagrove was founded by Markos Scheer, whose life and career have been deeply connected to Southeast Alaska’s working waterfronts.

Markos moved to Prince of Wales Island as a teenager and grew up in rural Southeast Alaska communities including Thorne Bay, Hollis, Klawock, and Ketchikan. Living close to the water fostered a deep respect for the ocean and the people whose livelihoods depend on it.

Early work in seafood processing gave him firsthand insight into Alaska’s seafood economy—experience that would later shape Seagrove’s disciplined, scalable approach to mariculture.

Bridging Seafood, Strategy, and Scale

After graduating from Ketchikan High School, Markos earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Colorado and a Juris Doctor from the University of Idaho College of Law.

For more than two decades, he practiced law representing seafood, fisheries, and maritime businesses from California to the Bering Sea. That experience provided a rare combination of regulatory fluency, operational insight, and market perspective.

Those lessons helped shape Seagrove into what it is today: a company designed from the ground up to bring scale, reliability, and transparency to Alaska mariculture.

A New Generation of Alaska Mariculture

Since beginning operations in 2019, Seagrove has:

  • Built Alaska’s largest multi-species mariculture footprint
  • Established year-round farms near Prince of Wales Island
  • Opened a state-of-the-art shellfish handling and shipping facility in Ketchikan
  • Expanded through affiliated farm operations and industry partnerships

The company continues to grow its distribution network, bringing Alaska oysters to more chefs, retailers, and markets nationwide.
