Seaweeds to the rescue, redux
February 23, 2021
Recently, there has been a great deal of interest and even excitement about how seaweed might be able to help save us from climate change.
I appreciate the newfound exuberance for seaweed, and wholeheartedly agree that seaweeds do a lot for society and the planet. A similar awakening to the wonders of seaweed occurred in the 1980s, but it is now a distant memory. Let’s revisit the past so we can figure out how to create the conditions that will drive the restoration of seaweed forests and the expansion of seaweed farming at scale so they can contribute to carbon drawdown while benefiting people and nature. And by “at scale,” I mean restoration and farming efforts by small-scale entrepreneurs as well as by industrialized concerns.
