In December 2019, 5 fiords were publicly put out to tender for seaweed cultivation. The authorities received 9 applications, one of which concerned Funningsfjørð.

The Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority has processed the application regarding cultivation of seaweed in Funningsfirði and, on July 8, Ocean Rainforest received this license.

The license gives Ocean Rainforest the right to cultivate seaweed in the waters outside of Elduvík. The farm area has received the identification number AA-01, and the license is valid until July 1st 2032.
