• Description:
  Within the past decade, the United States has seen significant developments in seaweed production, with seaweed farming becoming the country’s fastest-growing aquaculture sector, according to NOAA. Interest in seaweed has been fueled by its high potential to provide environmental, economic, and social benefits, and the United States is well-positioned to tap into emerging opportunities to advance seaweed production. To explore these opportunities and accelerate collaboration in the U.S. seaweed sector, the 2023 National Seaweed Symposium brought together over 250 leaders in seaweed research, development, and production from across the United States to Portland, Maine, from April 24-27, 2023. The event was hosted and organized by Maine Sea Grant as part of the NOAA Sea Grant National Seaweed Hub initiative.
