“…Today, algae extraction is secondary due to the depletion of natural beds (Marinho-Soriano, 2017). However, some cultivation initiatives have been established in the state, and these are usually associated with MHE, which act as a source of raw material (Reis;Castelar & Santos, 2017).…”

“…On the other hand, there are records of serious impacts caused by the extractivism of benthic organisms. The intense seaweed harvesting during the 1970s led to the depletion of macroalgae stocks and the collapse of production from the 2000s onwards (Durairatnam, 1989;Marinho-Soriano, 2017;Reis;Castelar & Santos, 2017;Simioni;Hayashi & Oliveira, 2019). Currently, most macroalgae production in Ceará comes from farming (Marinho-Soriano, 2017).…”

“…Currently, most macroalgae production in Ceará comes from farming (Marinho-Soriano, 2017). However, these seaweed farms often depend on raw material extracted from MHE, what may still put some pressure on the natural algae beds of the state (Marinho-Soriano, 2017;Reis;Castelar & Santos, 2017;Simioni;Hayashi & Oliveira, 2019). To prevent the case of macroalgae from repeating with other organisms, it is necessary to monitor and inspect the fishing activities in MHE, including because these ecosystems sustain the juveniles of many species of economic interest.…”

This paper is a literature review on marine hardbottom environments (MHE) that emerge in coastal regions in the Brazilian state of Ceará. This stretch of the Brazilian coast houses several rock formations, which are widely distributed in the intertidal zone. These formations have various origins and composition, ranging from crystalline rocks to biogenic structures, but most are composed by sandstones. These substrates support biodiverse ecosystems that produce valuable environmental goods and services, which have historical and socioeconomic relevance for the state. Despite their importance, they are currently threatened by various types of local and global stressors, and a consistent government effort to protect them is still lacking. There are many knowledge gaps regarding these formations and new studies are needed to support conservation actions involving these ecosystems. Keywords: reef, beachrock, sandstone, intertidal zone, benthos

“…Santa Catarina is the only state where producers work formally in aquaculture areas; however, because K. alvarezii is an introduced species, commercial cultivation of this species is not allowed. This is even after more than 10 years of studies, reports and negotiations with the government (Reis et al 2017).…”

Development of seaweed cultivation in Latin America: current trends and future prospects

2019

Seaweed farming has now expanded across several continents from South East Asia to South America, Northern Europe, Canada and East Africa, contributing to global food security, supporting rural livelihoods, alleviating poverty and improving the health of oceans. Latin America (LA) covers a vast geographical area, which includes four different oceanic domains (Temperate Northern Pacific, Tropical Eastern Pacific, Temperate South America and Tropical Atlantic) and encompasses many types of coastal ecosystems with a wide range of seaweed species. LA has major potential for the development of seaweed farming activities; however, almost all the production is based on the harvesting of natural beds. This review describes the development of and prospects for the aquaculture seaweed industry in LA. The status of the seaweed aquaculture sector for green, brown and red seaweed and the main industry challenges are addressed. Regulation in the primary countries is also discussed. The expansion of the aquaculture industry in this region can be improved with new strains and farming methodologies, diversification of species, market expansion and an increase in domestic demand.

“…Tentativas de cultivos de algas no Brasil são escassas. Alguns dos motivos pelo insucesso desses cultivos são: i) a falta de tradição dessa atividade econômica no país; ii) a falta de tradição no consumo dessas algas na alimentação da população brasileira; e iii) as escassas informações sobre a fisiologia das espécies com potencial para cultivo (Oliveira 1981(Oliveira , 1998Reis et al 2017).…”
