A review by the Seaweed Review Steering Group forecasts potential significant growth for Scotland's seaweed sector by 2040, with projections indicating a possible increase in gross value added (GVA) from the current £510,000 to between £22.1 million and £71.2 million, and employment rising from approximately 60 jobs to 400. The sector's growth could be fueled by its application in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and animal feed, with potential benefits for the Scottish economy and job market. The report underscores the importance of sustainable practices and calls for proper policy and legislation to ensure environmental sustainability and the sector's integration with other marine uses like fishing and renewable energy.
