Abstract

GENIALG aimed to study the possibilities for upscaling and streamlining seaweed production as a way not only to satisfy growing demand from industry but also to promote local economic activity and develop seaweed aquaculture in an efficient and environmentally sustainable way. This reports provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of seaweed farms on coastal ecosystems using medium sized farms in the southwest coast of Ireland (Ventry Harbour, Co.Kerry) and The Netherlands (Eastern Scheldt) growing sugar kelp (Saccharina lattisima) as case studies. This report presents the results of those surveys and discusses the implications for the management of current seaweed aquaculture licenses.
