We want to invite all fellow members to the online Sector Session 'Design standard for nearshore and offshore seaweed farms' on 30 May 13:30-16:00.
To support the seaweed industry North Sea Farmers have taken the initiative to develop a design standard for offshore and nearshore seaweed farms. Together with DNV, Aqitec, Van Oord and with the financial support of Invest-NL we have completed the first step: The 'Recommended design practice for offshore & nearshore seaweed growing systems.
