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.

Unless Chinese fishermen were stopped, the giant clam population in the West Philippine Sea would soon be decimated, said Yoyoy Rizol, a fisherman based in Infanta town, Pangasinan province.
