To ensure food and job security, food production systems need to be
innovated so that they protect the environment, mitigate climate
change and become more climate-resilient. This is an opportunity for
seaweed culture which captures nutrients and CO2, and does not need
freshwater or fertilizers. In Ecuador, edible seaweed is being
produced by small farmers, but a sustainable biomass valorisation
strategy is missing. Moreover, a good knowledge of the existing
seaweed species is still lacking. This course offers an introduction
to the diversity, taxonomy and biogeography of the seaweeds of the
Tropical East Pacific (Ecuador), in the framework of the project
Seaweed-based innovations for a resilient aquaculture and agriculture
(SIRENA funded by VLIR-UOS).

Objectives
The course aims at familiarizing the participants with the
morphological and functional diversity of seaweeds in an evolutionary
framework based on the most recent (molecular-) phylogenetic insights.
In addition, important ecological and biogeographical aspects of these
groups, and their potential for applied research, will be addressed.
Although not restricted to any specific geographic region, the course
content will use case studies of the seaweed diversity of the Pacific
South America.
Target audience and prerequisites
This course is designed for researchers, students, professionals
and/or policy makers working on and/or interested in seaweed.
The participants need to have a basic knowledge of marine sciences,
biology and/ or aquaculture (BSc level) and proven experience working
with seaweeds.

An intermediate level of Spanish and English (min. B1) is required.

Course Format and Duration
This 15-hour long course consists of a series of (online) lectures
delivered in live sessions and practical (demo) sessions and exercises.
