Seaweed Solutions

The book uniquely emphasizes community-based approaches and indigenous knowledge in sustainable seaweed cultivation, highlighting the importance of equitable solutions. The book progresses by first laying the biological and ecological groundwork of seaweed, then explores its applications in sustainable packaging, textiles, and biofuel. By drawing on scientific literature, experimental data, and global case studies, Seaweed Solutions provides a balanced view of seaweed's capabilities and constraints. For example, the book assesses the biodegradability of seaweed-based bioplastics, considering their potential to replace petroleum-based materials. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in biology, environmental science, and the pursuit of a more sustainable future.
