Description
Kelp habitat is one of the riches and most diverse habitats in the Ocean. It's why most governments will do their best to protect them. Scotland is one of those countries. It anyone in Scotland wants to get a permit to use kelp in their business, they would only be able to cut the tops to allow for regrowth. That makes sense...it's sustainable. However, there is a company called Marine Biopolymers, a biochemical company, that would like to dredge swaths of kelp beds for its own use. Not very sustainable. I don't really understand why the company would choose to dredge the kelp forests when they could farm it. Check out the episode to find out more. Source Enjoy the Podcast!!! Do you think the company should start farming the kelp? Let me know in the Facebook Group. Consider joining the Patreon Community to check out more Marine Conservation Shows.
