North Sea Farmers visiting the Dutch Parliament

2025-06-05

On May 28th, North Sea Farmers visited the Dutch parliament to inform MPs about the potential of seaweed. The Commission on Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality held a round-table meeting on fisheries in offshore wind farms. The meeting provided NSF's Eef Brouwers an opportunity to highlight the potential of the European seaweed industry, as well as the support it requires to be successful: a long-term production subsidy. Of course, as soon as large-scale seaweed production becomes commercially viable, new opportunities will also be created for fishing companies looking to expand their activities.
