Oceanic Harvest: Cultivating Waves of sustainability with Seaweed Farming
Akim Chigame A Sangma* and M. K. Yadav
Abstract
Seaweed farming, also known as mariculture or seaweed aquaculture, has emerged as a sustainable and versatile industry with immense potential to address pressing global challenges. This article provides an overview of seaweed farming, highlighting its benefits and applications. Seaweed cultivation offers significant environmental advantages, serving as a carbon sink, enhancing biodiversity, and mitigating nutrient pollution. Its applications span from food and biodegradable packaging to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels. Different farming methods, including offshore and nearshore approaches, as well as Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA), are discussed. Seaweed farming holds promise for a more sustainable future, although it faces scaling and regulatory challenges.
