Seaweed farming is one of the largest segments of the global aquaculture industry, which includes a small but growing US contingent.
Seaweeds have the potential to be farmed with few environmental impacts and inputs, but they have received little attention in the sustainable seafood movement and aren’t commonly found on US dinner plates.
Matt Thompson, aquaculture project lead at the New England Aquarium, will focus on the sustainability of seaweed farming, including recent visits to US and Chinese seaweed farms, and in doing so, ask how we embrace seaweed as a sustainable seafood.
