Speaker: Gabrielle Foursa, PhD, Students at UFThere are over 600 species of macroalgae (seaweed) in Florida, and they are exceptionally diverse in shape, size, color, and function. Seaweeds are being researched globally for both their wide-ranging commercial applications and for the ecosystem services they provide. Interest, support, and infrastructure for commercial seaweed farming has gained momentum in the US over the last 15 years. Researchers, industry, and conservation organizations have been drawn to the ability of seaweeds to provide a product or solution while being a sustainable, even regenerative crop. In this talk, we’ll explain what seaweed aquaculture is, explore what seaweeds are native to Florida, and discuss potential uses.
