MOA Successfully Cultivates Seaweed on Offshore Wind Farm
Posted on 2023-10-23 19:56:13
Offshore wind farms in Taiwan may soon be farms for something else.

The Ministry of Agriculture says it has successfully cultivated several types
of large seaweed species with economic value on the island's offshore wind
farm area, which may be used for food, as well as improve water quality, and
create living environments for sealife.

Officials point out that the seaweed attracts fish and in turn, increases
fishery resources, allowing for potential future cooperation between private
wind power companies and local fishermen.

The ministry says if approximately 5-percent of current wind farm areas are
used as seaweed farms as well, that could lead to an increase of up to
26-thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide captured and stored
