Abstract
Competing demand for land is driving biofuel and bioenergy research in various directions including macro-alga(seaweed).This paper reviews the mainissues for the marine environment of cultivating
and harvesting UK and Irish seaweed for biofuels/bioenergy,informed by stakeholder interviews.These
showed stakeholders were sceptical of an offshore cultivation industry developing but generally
considered inshore cultivation possible,while noting various practical obstacles and conditions.Views
on expansion of seaweed harvesting were more divided,with research scientists being relatively
cautious.
