TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of the ecosystem changes likely to be associated with a developing seaweed aquaculture industry is presented, highlighting the current knowledge gaps and providing research priorities to address them.

TL;DR: The concept of combining bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) has been identified as one mechanism to achieve energy production with a net negative atmospheric carbon emission.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed existing international biosecurity frameworks and their efficacy, quantitatively for the content of bio-security measures, applicability to the seaweed industry, and inclusion of risks posed by diseases, pests and non-native species.

TL;DR: Issues centre around three main themes: a confusion between the occurrence and harvest of intertidal and subtidal species, the relative suitability of seaweeds, and their source (wild harvest versus culture) as feedstock for biofuel generation and an appreciation of the scale at which macroalgae would have to be produced to make any impact on biofuel targets.

TL;DR: Six recommendations are suggested to incorporate proactive biosecurity actions into current frameworks, with the aim of improving the health and sustainability of the seaweed aquaculture sector in Indonesia.
