Planning for Seaweed Aquaculture in Tasmania: A Preliminary Evaluation of Biophysical Potential and Co-location with Existing Aquaculture

Exploring Opportunities for Seaweed Aquaculture in Tasmania: The Tasmanian Government is taking a proactive approach to understanding where and how seaweed can be grown along the coast. This work is all about identifying the best locations for future seaweed farming—places that meet environmental needs and support strong production. The findings will help with local planning and give industry, councils, and communities the tools to make informed decisions. It also explores how seaweed aquaculture could fit in alongside existing industries like fish farming and wastewater treatment, as well as support broader goals like ecosystem restoration.
