The Natural History Museum has announced its scientists' involvement in the Seaweed Breakthrough, an international initiative scheduled to launch at COP31 on 14 November. Its press release was first published on 13 November.
The museum says the initiative will bring researchers, governments and organisations together to conserve, restore and sustainably manage seaweed habitats. It describes pressures including warmer seas, pollution, invasive species and overharvesting.
The stated goals include reducing habitat loss, increasing long-term protection, restoring damaged areas and supporting seaweed farmers. The programme also seeks at least $17.5 billion for conservation and restoration. That figure is a funding target, not a claim that the money has already been secured.
