Licensing and Harvesting of Seaweed in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

2:30 pm

Dr. Maeve Edwards:

I am very proud to be part of the Irish seaweed research group in NUI Galway. We have spent 20 years trying to do our part for an industry that has great potential. There is now a momentum to make it a reality. We will continue to try to help the industry to grow.

Aquaculture certainly has an interesting and promising future as part of that. I will answer specific questions later.
