Abstract

Seaweed is proving to be an extremely promising resource for mariculture due to its remarkable adaptability, short growth period, and sustainable nature. The seaweed industry in India has emerged as a prominent sector due to its various advantages, such as its nutritional value, contribution to the conservation of coastal ecosystems, and potential as a renewable resource. The demand for seaweeds has been on the rise, due to the recent advancements in their utilization for producing nutraceuticals, plant growth promoters, fertilizers, and other industrial applications. However, the progress towards establishing a profitable business focusedon value-added products is still in its nascent stages. Hence, by strengthening the involvement of the government and stakeholders in seaweed farming can facilitate itssustainable development and growth. Additionally, the implementation of strategic and coordinated policy interventions is also essential to create market opportunities and promote the development of value-added seaweed products to further propel the growth of this sector.
