Responsibility
Seaweed farming has both proven history and huge potential. Large-scale farms could produce raw materials for biofuel, aquatic feeds and human consumption.
Aquafeeds
Discussion of aquaculture development should consider trophic levels. Seaweed culture, for example, could possibly double plant food production by farming less than 1 percent of the ocean’s surface.
Responsibility
Erecting permanent structures in open coastal waters, like fish farms, requires planning, direction and, most likely, the grant of private property rights.
