Kelp Farming Promises Economic and Ecological Benefits
Kelp growers and ocean researchers have told that kelp could be highly beneficial in improving local environment, boosting other fisheries and providing a saleable food source.
There’s also growing recognition among scientists that farmed seaweed can absorb excess nutrients and carbon dioxide, improving local water quality and boosting nearby fisheries, particularly shellfish.
Kelp is a macroalgae which can grow quickly from microscopic to dozens of feet long in a few months. This rapid growth requires more nutrients and carbon di oxide which they absorb and in turn produce a lot of potential food.
