Seaweed for Europe has published in October 2020 a report that quantifies the potential economic, social and environmental benefits of a sustainable seaweed industry in 2030. The report also provides guidelines to ensure the growth of the industry is sustainable, resilient and fair, and suggests some concrete avenues to fast-track its development.
