18th (Thu): Excursion (optional)
Activities undertaken include:
- attendance of the above forum days (each mini-symposium consisting of several presentations taking place simultaneously across 3 separate halls);
- networking with international experts in phycology;
- learning about local Ainu First Nations relationship with seaweed from both cultural and custodian stand-points; and
- report compiled of key findings relevant to FRDC and the emerging domestic seaweed industry, with a focus on building and disseminating knowledge within local First Nations.
Australian Seaweed ED: on-line portal containing material that can be used by educators, the industry and media to increase awareness and enhance industry’s social license to develop and operate Australian seaweed aquaculture
Project number:
2023-196
Project Status:
Current
Budget expenditure:
$104,000.00
Principal Investigator:
Joanne Freeman
Organisation:
Honey and Fox Pty Ltd
TAGS
Education and community understanding are pivotal in cultivating a thriving seaweed industry. The portal will serve as a knowledge hub, offering comprehensive resources for educators, media, and the public, promoting informed discussion and enhance industry’s social licence to develop and operate . The aim is to elevate public understanding and acceptance of seaweed aquaculture, addressing misconceptions and highlighting the environmental and economic benefits of the industry.
The portal will have two sections one for educational resources one for regulatory and the permitting process (see Project 2023/194) and housing it under one “digital roof”. This One-Stop-Shop will ensure a focus on the individual portals while achieving additional benefits, including reducing redundancy and optimising resource use, simplifying user access and navigation and supporting the industry's operational needs while promoting awareness and understanding, strengthening social and regulatory standing.
Establish an on-line portal where Australian seaweed industry members can find contact details and useful associated information to facilitate state and federal government permitting of seaweed related activities

Sourcing and completing seaweed permitting is typically State Government based and complex, an on-line portal will help facilitate the process for those seeking to complete permit applications. At its core, the portal will be designed to streamline the permitting process, a critical bottleneck for industry stakeholders. By consolidating state and federal permitting information, guidelines, and applications into one accessible location, the portal dramatically simplifies the regulatory navigation process. This efficiency not only reduces administrative burdens but also accelerates the timeline from permit application to operational activity, directly contributing to industry growth and vibrancy.
The portal will have two sections one for regulatory and the permitting process and one for educational resources (see Project 2023/196) and housing them under one “digital roof”.

Evaluate and optimise cost and energy effective solutions for lighting, carbon delivery and mixing in intensive commercial scale tetrasporophyte production of Asparagopsis
Project number:

TAGS
This project seeks to improve process efficiencies in inoculum production systems in hatcheries and mass culture grow out systems in land-based seaweed aquaculture facilities through selection of light sources with the appropriate spectral qualities and intensities as well as efficient carbon delivery and mixing systems. Laboratory scale optimisation trials on tetrasporophytes of A. armata and A. taxiformis will be validated under scaled-up industrial scale systems. The project proposes to trial various commercially available light sources as well as carbon delivery systems that the industry could adopt.
1. Comprehensive review of spectral quality and intensity of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), carbon delivery and mixing in high density mass cultures of the tetrasporophytes of Asparagopsis
2. Validated spectral quality and irradiance in high density tetrasporophyte cultures of A. armata and A. taxiformis
3. Developed optimised carbon delivery and mixing systems in tetrasporophyte mass cultures
4. Laboratory-scale trials validated under scale-up conditions.

A continuation of representative national surveys of the Australian public regarding attitudes towards trust and acceptance of rural industries, trends shifts, and drivers.
1. Develop capability across the sector to monitor, anticipate and respond to shifts in the levels oftrust the community has in Australia's rural industries.
2. Build a common language and collective national narrative around the community trust challenge.
3. Identify common best practice approaches, strategies and interventions for building, rebuilding andmaintaining community trust.
