Seaweed has a lot going for it. It’s an incredibly nutritious and, many says, tasty food. It’s also very versatile, with uses in fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and even industrial products like adhesives and dyes. Seaweed farming has long been considered one of the most sustainable and environmentally benign forms of aquaculture as the marine algae require no additional feed or fertilizers to grow, and can actually help clean the water it lives in. The industry has also been credited with creating both jobs and sources of sustenance in remote coastal areas of developing nations.
