 This study assesses the potential for large-scale algae farming in the world's oceans by using species distribution models based on an ensemble consensus approach. The results suggest that approximately 20.8 million square kilometers of the ocean, one 3.8 percent, is suitable for farming marine algae species, with most potential areas located near the coastline. For out of the top five countries with the largest area suitable for seaweed farming, including Australia, Russia, Canada, and the United States, account for 30 percent of the total suitable areas, yet they currently produce less than one percent of the global seaweed. Several species show promising characteristics for large-scale cultivation, but their viability for commercial production remains uncertain and subject to further assessment of economic feasibility and social acceptance. Further research on the ecological benefits of seaweed farming could also promote the development of an ecologically friendly and financially viable algae mariculture industry.
