Initial work was undertaken in 2021 to conduct an early feasibility study to establish the viability of the concept from a technical and financial perspective. The summary and recommendations from this report reported there is a technically feasible, socially, and environmentally beneficial, and commercially viable opportunity for seaweed cultivation to be carried out in the Aberdeenshire area. Financial modelling confirms that seaweed cultivation is a viable business opportunity. Further micro-siting and a project trial were advised as the next step that the Council should pursue.Phase 2: Environmental monitoring equipment & design of Phase 3 (August-Sept 2024).* Phase 2a: Liaison with Argyll Aquaculture regarding the fabrication of the structures and the moorings.* Phase 2b: Design of environmental monitoring protocol.* Phase 2c: Develop seaweed cultures for Phase 3Phase 3: Deployment of seaweed, monitoring, analyses and reporting (October 2024-August 2025).* Phase 3a: seed and development of SOP for sampling and monitoring.* Phase 3b: Undertake the monitoring and remove biomass samples* Phase 3c: Monitoring and analysis of seaweed and environmental data.* Phase 3d: Provide a report on the main outcomes.

Further micro-siting and a project trial were advised as the next step that the Council should pursue.Phase 2: Environmental monitoring equipment & design of Phase 3 (August-Sept 2024).* Phase 2a: Liaison with Argyll Aquaculture regarding the fabrication of the structures and the moorings.* Phase 2b: Design of environmental monitoring protocol.* Phase 2c: Develop seaweed cultures for Phase 3Phase 3: Deployment of seaweed, monitoring, analyses and reporting (October 2024-August 2025).* Phase 3a: seed and development of SOP for sampling and monitoring.* Phase 3b: Undertake the monitoring and remove biomass samples* Phase 3c: Monitoring and analysis of seaweed and environmental data.* Phase 3d: Provide a report on the main outcomes. Overall aim to better understand growth performance criteria and seasonal constraints with respect to seaweed cultivation on the East Coa"
