Description

What's seaweed farming? What is aquaculture? And why should we care? Karlotta Rieve, project manager at HATCH Blue Innovations, talks about the globalization of seaweed farming and why it has turned into a multibillion-dollar industry over the last 50 years.

Having spent the summer of 2022 traveling to rural parts of Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and Malaysia surveying seaweed farmers and researchers, Karlotta speaks to her experience, what she learned, and what she is currently doing in her role.
