I've been interested in the cattle feed angle for a while now, as it does 2 things: produces sustainable cattle feed which reduces reliance on continued productivity of land (can keep same cows/acre without artificial nitrogen inputs), and the reduced Methane output reduces the emissions of each animal such that continued production doesn't fall afoul of regulators.

Also, here in Ireland there is such a thing as Folio rights [1], inherited rights to collect seaweed from the foreshore, much like turbary rights, the right to cut turf from a certain plot of common land. Unless you are already in possession of these, getting licensed for seaweed harvesting is likely to be a headache.

Kinda curious, are the plastics removed from the seaweed before consumption or there is not a process to get rid of the small particles?


I don't know, but that is something worth considering with all the seaweed uses
