Taredyrking kan gjennomføres bærekraftig og med få negative påvirkninger på miljøet

Dette er gode nyheter når vi vet at en kraftig oppskalering av tareindustrien sannsynligvis står på trappene langs norskekysten.

Norway has a long coastline with clean and nutrient-rich seawater, which provides ideal conditions for

the cultivation of kelp. To ensure a long-term and profitable industry, kelp cultivation must be developed in a sustainable way with an understanding of possible impacts on the marine environment.


The research project KELPPRO (2017-2020) investigated how cultivation of kelp impacts the environmental conditions and marine life on the seafloor and in the open water masses, and it assessed whether kelp farms play a role in spreading alien or endangered species.


This report summarizes the main results and establishes a knowledge base for sustainable management of the
industry.

The report is in Norwegian, with an English summary.

Environmental impacts of kelp

cultivation and recommendations

for a management strategy


Kelp products could surround us in the future - but how sustainable will the industry be?


Hartvig Christie og Kasper Hancke (2021).


A large upscale of the kelp industry is probably around the corner in Norwegian coastal waters. In order to conduct kelp farming in an ecologically and economically sustainable way, it is crucial to understand how the ecosystems work.

Taredyrking i Norge: Hvor bør man dyrke og hvor stort er potensialet?

 

Broch, OJ (2019): Over hele verden er det stor interesse for dyrking av tare og andre makroalger. Bare i Norge er det gitt over 300 tillatelser til makroalgedyrking. Det er imidlertid lite erfaring med og informasjon tilgjengelig om hvor det er best å dyrke tare og hvor stort potensialet for denne nye næringen faktisk er.
