    Study: Seaweed a resilient food solution in nuclear winter
    (Concept & Information Group, Inc., 2024-01-22)
    A new study about the potential of seaweed as a resilient food source was published in the scientific journal Earth’s Future by a team of researchers from the Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters, Louisiana State University, University of the Philippines Diliman Marine Science Institute and the University of Canterbury. Researchers discovered that seaweed can be a crucial pillar for food security in abrupt sunlight reduction scenarios such as a nuclear winter. Seaweed is found to be resilient in adverse conditions, so its growth and potential to enhance food security increases after severe nuclear conflicts.

    DENR seeking sites for seaweed farming
    Kritz, Ben (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2016-12-08)
    The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is seeking areas where local production of seaweed can either be started or increased, both as a livelihood measure for coastal communities and as an effective measure against the impacts of climate change. Research in recent years has found that many varieties of seaweed, including types that are commercially farmed in the Philippines and other countries, have unique characteristics that give them carbon sequestration abilities. DENR Secretary Gina Lopez told reporters and seaweed farming stakeholders in a roundtable discussion last week at the training center of the Biodiversity Management Bureau in Quezon City that the DENR has started identifying potential sites for seaweed farming in the country, with the help of other government agencies and local residents.
