Earlier this month we told you about the team of conservationists and other private sector reps. who visited a seaweed farm in Placencia. They went to see how seaweed is cultivated and how they can create a flourishing seaweed industry in Belize and internationally. Well today at the Roberts Grove Resort in Placencia, The Nature Conservancy, Beltriade and Compete Caribbean launched a seaweed mariculture project that will focus on making this macroalgea a export-ready commodity. Courtney Weatherburne has more.
The team hopes to be exporting seaweed by 2021.
