Seaweed’s potential to transform aquaculture

​Join Ethical Seafood Research for a timely conversation on how seaweed farming could reshape the future of aquatic food systems. From ocean health and climate resilience to coastal livelihoods and alternatives to aquatic animal farming, we’ll explore why seaweed is emerging as one of the most promising developments in sustainable aquaculture, with a special focus on East Africa.

​This 1-hour webinar brings together global experts, researchers, practitioners and members of the ESR team,to explore how seaweed cultivation can support biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience and provide coastal communities with viable economic alternatives to the farming or fishing of sentient aquatic animals.

​Featuring insights from Vincent Doumeizel (United Nations Global Compact & Founder of the Global Seaweed Coalition), Ann Ruddy (Alga Seaweed & Redrose Developments Ltd) and ESR’s Matt Unerman, the session will dive into our newest report, Building the Economic Case for Coastal Seaweed Farming Over Aquatic Animal Farming, and discuss ESR’s emerging seaweed project in Tanzania.

​Perfect for researchers, ocean lovers, development practitioners, animal advocates and anyone curious about the future of low-impact aquatic food systems.
