Australian researchers and businesses are delving into seaweed properties that can improve health and fight climate change as they work to create a new seaweed industry for the country.

The seaweed compounds that create these positive bioactive responses in people, plants and animals – the 'bioactives' – will be the focus of several sessions at the International Seaweed Symposium in Australia next year.

As a media partner for the symposium, Coretext has been working on a series of articles to highlight key issues and speakers at the event, which will run from 19-24 February 2023, in Hobart and online.

Our latest features looks at work underway in Australia to develop new bioactive products.
