Multitrophic Seaweed/Seafood Production

Project Opportunity

Engineering students can work to determine tradeoffs between nutrient uptake, freshwater requirements, transportation requirements, value add products, and economic productivity of the multi-trophic seaweed and seafood farming venture.

Marine science students can investigate the suitability of the species that community members want to use in multi-trophic seaweed and seafood production.

Anthropology students can consider ways (e.g. methods, preferences, cultural practices, regulations) that existing aquaculture can be adapted to build sustainable livelihoods and resilient communities.

Some useful links to seaweed production include:
