Sustainable Seaweed Farming Seen as Boost for Coastal Economies
Original: Sustainable Seaweed Farming Could Boost Coastal Communities, Economies, and Marine Health
The Pew Charitable Trusts highlights sustainable seaweed farming as an opportunity for coastal communities, arguing it can support local livelihoods, strengthen economies, and improve marine health. Seaweed requires no freshwater, fertiliser, or feed, making it a low-impact crop with growing commercial demand for food, fertiliser, and other products. Supporters say expanding the industry responsibly could deliver environmental and economic benefits at once, though care is needed to avoid ecological harm.
Why now: Growing interest in ocean-based climate and economic solutions has put seaweed aquaculture in the spotlight.
