The workshop will focus on macroalgae which are either models for basic research in developmental phycology or cultivated seaweeds. Seaweed mariculture is often considered as the most environmentally friendly form of aquaculture: it requires little or no input of fertilisers, does not cause any major physical alterations of the environment, and can be used to mediate eutrophication and pollution. Therefore, seaweeds can be considered as an alternative, additional source of food, feed, fuel and livelihood for humans. Seaweed cultivation, a basement for seaweed aquaculture, needs to be further improved and major bottlenecks to be solved.
