Policy Principles and Guidelines Relating to the Assessment of Licences and Exemptions for the Aquaculture of Seaweed in Western Australia 2022
The Aquaculture Plan, developed in consultation with industry and key stakeholders, focuses on the foundations for growth and addresses the key issues which have commonly been considered as barriers to the development of aquaculture in WA. With added pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, building strong foundations and continuing to move forward to address key issues is more important than ever. The purpose of the Aquaculture Plan is to provide realistic and achievable targets in the short, medium and long terms, in a cohesive, logical order that will be the foundation for growth over the next ten years.

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.
