SeaMark will upscale seaweed cultivation in Europe based on proven near-shore and exposed seaweed cultivation systems and land-based Integrated Multi Tropic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems. SeaMark will utilise recent ground-breaking selective breeding technologies within EU seaweed crop genetics to increase biomass yield.
Main outcomes of the project are 12 innovative products which will be developed, tested, and launched to relevant market segments by the conclusion of this project. The entire value chain will be analysed for techno-economic feasibility and socio-economic impact. The ecosystem services will be identified and quantified, and regulatory hurdles will be addressed. The role of Matís in Seamark is to increase valorization of seaweed by developing new bioactive products applying enzymatic tools and processes.
