Economists review Chile’s seaweed farming subsidy policy
by Miguel Quiroga

The productivity of farmed seaweed areas also varies greatly between aquaculture sites, which further threatens the financial viability of projects that are geared towards shoring up coastal livelihoods and supporting marine conservation.
