Our Seaweed Research Group, in partnership with @urbanutilities, are testing ways to offset nutrients and support healthy waterways in the Moreton Bay region. By using Moreton Bay Rock Oyster’s existing structures, we found farming certain types of seaweed is effective at improving water quality and can also support oyster crops while allowing farmers to diversify their activities.

The purpose of this paper is to profile the consumers who are likely to eat seaweed products in Australia. The paper identifies education, familiarity, food neophobia (FNeo), symbolic value of food consumption, health consciousness, as well as snacking behaviour as significant predictors of likelihood to eat seaweed products. Consumers with a university degree (i.e. undergraduates and postgraduates) are four times more likely to eat seaweed products, and those familiar with seaweed products have a 7.6 higher likelihood to eat seaweed products. FNeo makes the largest contribution to the consumer’s likelihood to eat seaweed.

Current seaweed consumption and attitudes and preferences toward seaweed food products in a Western society are investigated to inform the seaweed industry regarding product development and marketing strategies. A national survey of 521 Australian consumers was conducted. About 75% of respondents had eaten seaweed; however, only 37% had consumed seaweed regularly over the past 12 months. Key drivers include health and nutritional benefits, taste, being natural, safe, and fresh. Critical barriers are lack of knowledge and familiarity, and the perception that seaweed is expensive.
