A cry for kelp - why Scotland's green future could be blue
An in-depth article about the environmental benefits of kelp farming (not dredging) and Argyll and Bute's proposal to make to make our area a hub for seaweed cultivation. A & B's recently published feasibility study will be presented at next month's Scottish Seaweed Industry Association annual conference in Oban. Large parts of the Sound of Jura have been identified as suitable areas and we will attend this conference to learn more about what is being proposed. We look forward to hearing about seaweed cultivation in the Faroes, Norway, Holland and Spain. We are also be keen to hear Marine Scotland's update on the Seaweed Review Group, which was set up by the Government after last year's amendment to the Crown Estate Bill and the continuing campaign against kelp dredging.
The Herald have provided a nice picture of Pacific Giant kelp! However seaweed cultivation in Scotland uses two types of equally stunning native kelp - Dabberlocks (Alaria esculenta) and Sugar Kelp (Saccharina latissima).
