Seagriculture EU 2022 Conference Program
27 June - 1 July 2022: SeaStrains Workshop

28 June - Safe Seaweed by Design’s workshop for safety protocols around seaweed farming
During the last 1.5 years, the Safe Seaweed by Design project studied relevant hazards and developed guiding protocols aiming at producing safe seaweed food products and keeping the ecosystem and workers safe and healthy. Your knowledge and experience from within the seaweed industry are very valuable for the researchers of the project and they would like you to join their discussion on safety protocols, to help them revise, refine and adjust those protocols. Are they feasible? Are they missing something? What would give them more value or make them more useful? Register now!
