BMRS Attends the Farming Seaweed workshop in Ennis

BMRS attended the Farming Seaweed workshop hosted by BIM in Ennis, Co Clare on April 10.  Over 70 industry representatives including seaweed producers, regulators and processors attended the one day workshop,

This workshop was held in response to a growing interest in farming seaweed and in producing seaweed products (in Ireland) following seaweed aquaculture licence approvals in 2018. BIM now estimates that there are 130 ha of seaweed licensed capacity in Ireland with more coming on stream this year.
