A webinar on the potential of seaweed as an economic driver is coming later this month.
The webinar, put together by The Laurentic Forum Consortium, will look at how coastal communities can use an abundance of seaweed to boost the economy, as seaweed is being used as fertilizer, diet supplements, bioplastics, animal feed, pharmaceutical products, and much more.
Webinar moderator and the executive director of the Canadian Centre for Fisheries Innovation, Keith Hutchings, says seaweed farming could provide opportunities in Newfoundland and Labrador.
He says if utilized correctly, communities and regions can add one more industry to help sustain them.
The webinar is taking place May 19.
The Laurentic Forum consortium invites you to join us on May 19, 2022, to discuss the tremendous opportunity and potential associated with the seaweed industry.
