EU4Algae has added a new addition to their Comprehensive Guide by EU4Algae to Support Future Seaweed Farmers with Licensing Toolkit for Sweden.
EU4Algae serves as an information hub for the algae sector, providing stakeholders with updates on the latest news, events, and developments in the algae industry.
When starting a seaweed farm, one of the first steps is applying for a licence, guaranteeing the right to farm a plot of ocean. As a novel and evolving industry in Europe, licensing procedures are often poorly established. This means that the licence application process can be anything but straightforward, requiring knowledge, time, and resources to complete.
To aid in this process, Seaweed for Europe has compiled general, and country-specific information and resources to guide future farmers through their licensing journey. These resources include:
- General considerations and learnings: Knowledge about obtaining a seaweed farming licence, expectations during the licensing process, and pointers for success.
- Country-specific licensing processes: Detailed steps and common obstacles encountered when applying for a seaweed farm licence in a specific European country.
