Seaweed is emerging as a growth sector within the framework of the Blue Economy – it is both carbon positive and has incredible potential in terms of its properties as a nutritious food, animal feed supplement, a source of protein and micronutrients, nutraceuticals and a raw material for an extensive number of other environmentally beneficial applications.
