Why seaweed? It can mitigate pollution, provide habitat for marine life, support fish popns and reduce climate impacts #loveseaweed
There is hype behind seaweed: It is being sold as a silver bullet to the worlds problems. We don’t want to overdeliver so how can we achieve a seaweed sector? The answer is #EcosystemBasedManagement or #EBM 
You can download the EBM graphic Rob has used here sustainableseaschallenge.co.nz/tools-and-reso… #NZMSS2021
So what species are being looked at by this project? Karengo (a red seaweed), kelps, bull kelp and the star child of seaweed, Asparagopsis — known for helping cows reduce methane 🐄 💨 #seaweed #NZMSS2021 @Cawthron_NZ
Q&A: Need to make sure taonga species are being taken care of and treated with respect! Like Te Rerekohu mentioned this morning about extraction rights #NZMSS2021
Seaweed also has ecosystem services, which makes it different from other species. Eg, bioremediation services for land based and ocean based systems
What are some of the barriers?
