Seaweed builds spectacular underwater forests that matter both for life in the sea and for the planet's climate. This talk asks what seaweed and other algae really are, and how they differ from plants and animals.
The lecture looks at how seaweed is grown both in the sea and on land, and at the sustainable solutions it may offer for climate, biodiversity and future food. The evening ends with a tasting, letting audiences sample the flavours of seaweed.
