Underwater Eucheuma farming in the Philippines A seaweed farmer in Nusa Lembongan (Indonesia) gathers edible seaweed that has grown on a rope. Seaweed farming or kelp farming is the practice of cultivating and harvesting seaweed. In its simplest form farmers gather from natural beds, while at the other extreme farmers fully control the crop's ...
Seaweed aquaculture shows potential to act as a CO 2 sink through the uptake of carbon during photosynthesis, transformation of inorganic carbon into biomass, and ultimately the fixation of carbon which can later be exported and buried. [5] [31] [50] Duarte et al. (2017) outline a potential strategy for a seaweed farming blue carbon initiative ...
A kelp forest in San Clemente Island, California demonstrating the diversity of life that can be supported by Marine Permaculutre. Marine Permaculture is a form of mariculture that reflects the principles of permaculture by recreating seaweed forest habitat and other ecosystems in nearshore and offshore ocean environments.
Farming of Gracilaria originally used similar methods to Caulerpa, although it can also be grown in seawater in cages or along nylon lines. [11] Seaweed farms are often smaller than 1 hectare (2.5 acres), and most are operated by their owners. [16] Even a small farm can be quite profitable.
Seaweed-covered rocks in the United Kingdom Seaweed on rocks on Long Island. Alginates are used in wound dressings (see alginate dressing), and dental moulds. In microbiology, agar is used as a culture medium. Carrageenans, alginates and agaroses, with other macroalgal polysaccharides, have biomedicine applications.
Extensive aquaculture has been practiced in Korea for several hundred years, with seaweed farming beginning in the 1600s, but modern intensive aquaculture (mainly for seaweed and shellfish) did not emerge until the 1960s. [5] [6] However, total annual aquaculture production was less than 100,000 tonnes in this period. Aquaculture production ...

IMTA works by creating a closed-loop system where the by-products such as excess nutrients and organic waste from fish farming, are utilized by other species such as shellfish and seaweed. This process can decrease water pollution, minimize the need for chemical fertilizers, and improve overall ecosystem health.
