Description:Land-based facilities support all current seaweed farming in Oregon (Figure 2). The primary seaweed grown is a strain of Pacific dulse (Palmaria mollis) that was originally sourced from Puget Sound and studied as a biofilter for land-based salmon farming effluent (Levine 1991). Current commercial seaweed aquaculture operations are located in Garibaldi and Bandon (Figure 3), where seawater is pumped into culture tanks during high tide. Specialty shops and high-end restaurants are the primary retail outlets for the cultivated dulse, and a secondary market exists for dulse processed into pet food. Current scientific research and product development activities may provide additional markets.
