Seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that matter a great deal for ocean life and the planet's climate. This talk looks at what seaweed and other algae really are, and how they differ from plants and animals.
The evening also explores how seaweed is grown both at sea and on land, and which sustainable solutions it might offer for climate, biodiversity and future food. The talk is an updated version of a lecture given in autumn 2020, and it ends with a tasting that takes you into the flavour world of seaweed.
