Based on a growing body of scientific literature, bivalves and seaweed are two species groups with the clearest potential to be farmed with few negative environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions. These species can also provide important environmental benefits, such as improving water quality and providing wildlife habitat.

In collaboration with partners across tropical geographies, TNC has developed a wealth of resources on restorative seaweed farming, including Better Management Practices guides, training programs, market analyses, and scientific literature. With those materials as its foundation, this course provides an introduction to tropical seaweed farming, including better farm management practices (seeding to post-harvest) and best environmental practices for new and existing seaweed aquaculture operations to support positive outcomes for communities and ecosystems.

Seaweed Insights: Seaaweed Insights provides a comprehensive examination of today’s seaweed production landscape, designed to bring visibility and transparency to this growing sector. Sponsored with the goal of accelerating opportunities and innovations in the seaweed space, the study was produced by Hatch Innovation Services, known for delivering high-quality work and insightful research. Drawing on fieldwork across five countries, the team gathered extensive data points and regional knowledge, including observations of pioneering approaches to species selection and cultivation technologies.
By highlighting trends, challenges, and emerging practices, the Global Seaweed Study aims to inspire new business ideas and foster a more sustainable seaweed ecosystem. It provides detailed insights into the main species under cultivation and points to the potential of developing novel species and methods. The result is a resource that equips entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders with the information they need to drive meaningful innovation in seaweed aquaculture.
