Seaweeds for Climate action

This workshop explores the pivotal role of seaweeds in addressing climate change through carbon sequestration and marine ecosystem restoration. Participants will gain insights into how seaweeds capture carbon, mitigate climate impacts, and support biodiversity recovery. Practical applications and case studies will be highlighted to inspire actionable solutions.

To explore the role of seaweeds in carbon sequestration and their applications in marine ecosystem restoration for climate mitigation.

1. Examine the mechanisms of carbon sequestration in seaweeds and their role in mitigating climate change. 2. Explore practical applications of seaweeds in restoring marine ecosystems and enhancing biodiversity. 3. Highlight case studies and strategies for integrating seaweed-based solutions into climate action initiatives.
