Her interest in the potential health benefits of a seaweed-based diet, inspired by longevity trends in countries like Japan, led her to launch this venture.
"They would all have a bit of a passion for the sea, skills with ropes and with boats and with engines and stuff, which are pretty essential for everyday operations."
At her processing plant in Mulroy Bay Lorraine talks of a community-based operation: "We have people from other aquaculture sectors that work with us.
The Irish government backs seaweed farming as a sustainable way to diversify income and support coastal communities that have faced significant reductions in fishery quotas in recent years.
Among the participants was Felix Leinemann, Head of Unit for Blue Economy Sectors, Aquaculture and Maritime Spatial Planning, DG MARE: "Europe produces 0,2% of algae in the world," he said.
And for former fishermen like Jerry Gallagher, seaweed farming offers a way to continue their life passion — working at sea while providing healthy, locally grown food to more people.

Damn. I would've expected candy demand to be on a downhill trend, as people seem more and more focused on eating more healthy. I probably live in a bit of a bubble then...
Hmmm, then we have different experiences I guess. A lot of people that I know (friends, family, etc) who used to regularly eat sweets all quit almost 100%. More than fat or processed foods I always hear people talking about reducing sugar/carbs. But that's probably just anecdotal. Still it's surprising to me that they need to produce more, not less, given that people seem to be watching what they eat way more than 10 years ago.
This is probably a highly local and subjective topic.
The next neighbour could be a sugar addict or a no sugar in anything type of person.
Tbf my social circle can't be considered anything but small. But I'd agree that food became more health-"aware" and the increase and demand for production is interesting to see.
The sweetmaker will invest in a plant in the north west of Germany to produce Maoam and fruit gum products, says Handelsblatt newspaper.
The factory is intended to replace a Haribo facility already in the area, said operations head Markus Riegelein, interviewed by Handelsblatt.
Maoam, a sweet produced by Haribo, also began as a separate brand, created in the city of Düsseldorf just opposite Neuss, across the River Rhine.
An index of German business sentiment, released by the Ifo institute on Monday, showed that companies' morale remained constant in May.
Industry, trade and construction sectors show slow signs of recovery, while service providers are suffering a setback.
Last year, Germany's GDP declined by 0.2% (adjusted from 0.3%) as industries were hit with elevated fuel costs, sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Maybe he should be using his time to attend the incoming and also already starting economic crisis in Spain . Standard families are unable to pay shit .
If you take a look at the map in the wiki page about the International recognition of the State of Palestine you will notice that most of the countries that have not recognised Palestine have been colonisers. Having them change their position is a necessary thing that needs to be done to for peace in the region.
As of May 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 143 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.
Just looking forward to the next country that will recognise Palestine.
Because colonisers taking land from a country and a region from a country that historically has been of the country since forever wanting to become independent is completely the same, right. Also it's cute that you mention the Catalan one and not the Basque one.
Why would an illegally made declaration of independence where not even the majority of the region wanted to secede have validity on the matter? Are you saying that the violence that the catalonian citizens suffered is the same as the mass murder Palestinians are suffering?
I'm not saying that the way the government of the time acted was okay but for you to point at it and say hypocrisy when talking about what the current government says about the Palestinian genocide and their recognition as a separate nation, originally separate from Israel, is so fucking stupid, I'm sorry.
The spanish authorities are still to this day persecuting catalan political separatists with full force, even though none of the separatists ever used force against Spain. There is a reason why multiple EU states refuse to cooperate with Spain on that matter.
hooboy can't wait until the next time ISIS hits Spain like they did in Barcelona in '17, watch all the crocodile tears about "islamic terrorism is bad but the jews are worse" hahahahahaha
First of all, it's not a good look ending an anecdote about a terrorist attack with hahahaha's.
Second, Spain ain't funding Hamas or Isis (which you for some reason bring up.)
Third, we're not rooting for one side or the other to conquer the other. Most people believe arming people who murder civilians is a bad idea.
Fourth, Israel is clearly murdering civilians and engaging in a plethora of war crimes. It's not odd that Spain doesn't want to be complicit. That shouldn't be difficult to grasp no matter if you root for one side, the other or just hoping for a peaceful end to this conflict
The Spanish government announced it will deny ports of call to any vessel carrying weapons to Israel.
Spanish authorities have refused a ship carrying weapons for Israel permission to dock at one of the country's ports.
The foreign ministry will systematically reject such stopovers for one obvious reason: the Middle East does not need more weapons, it needs more peace.”
The Danish-flagged cargo ship, 'Marianne Danica,' departed from India with 27 tonnes of explosives, according to the Spanish newspaper El País.
‘Borkum’ received government authorisation to stop in Cartagena on Friday as its final destination is the Czech Republic, not Israel, according to transport minister Óscar Puente.
However, officials from the left-wing parties Sumar and Podemos have asked the government to deny access to 'Borkum' in support of Palestine.

There is this conversation about nuclear power that bugs me. The downvoting part in this section motivated me enough to talk about the following.
The way I see things humanity does not have an energy issue, industries do. We don't need more energy to heat our homes, for example. More energy is needed for the industries to be able to expand. So I don't understand why this SMR "adventure" is so well perceived by the public or even environmentalists.
We know that businesses, corporations etc care only about their monetary profit, and not about the environment or humans.
Governments take tones of money to enforce these kind of policies worldwide. Some bribes have even evolved to taxable salaries.
Why are people so eager to defend SMR like it's a solution? It's like pretending that the problem is not related to the eternal growth model of capitalism. No?
As you can tell, I cannot see an ecological solutions withing capitalism. Is there anyone who can? If yes, how would those solutions bypass or change the eternal growth model, to a sustainable one?
I might need to change my point of view, this is why I shared this rant.
Yepo, guess it's about using oil & coal is just worse.
Maybe soon we in the west will have "enough" of "stuff" (you can only eat that much every day right) and would transit to another less degrading system.
A huge part of global CO2 emissions come from various industries, so they certainly have a lot to improve. We should definitely start with that instead of blaming regular consumers of everything.
Switching to completely renewable energy sources requires grid energy storage, which we don’t really have at the moment. While we’re building renewable energy plants and the facilities to balance out the mismatching nature of energy production and demand, we’re still going to need some sort of energy during the transition period, and that’s when nuclear energy comes in handy. The way I see it, it’s not a long term solution for everything, but a temporary tool for managing the transition period, which is apparently going to take decades.
The private sector does what’s economically attractive and viable, but policies dictate what makes economic sense and what doesn’t. Therefore, I think we should all vote for the local politicians who support renewable energy and grid energy storage.
Building large reactors isn’t economically attractive, so maybe SMRs could help with that. Time will tell. Or maybe we need to make it more expensive to build and run fossil fuel plants, and politics would be the right tool for that.
Building large reactors isn’t economically attractive, so maybe SMRs could help with that.
It looks like this is not the case, at least by reading the following:
Some advocates misleadingly claim that SMRs are more efficient than large ones because they use less fuel. In terms of the amount of heat generated, the amount of uranium fuel that must undergo nuclear fission is the same whether a reactor is large or small. And although reactors that use coolants other than water typically operate at higher temperatures, which can increase the efficiency of conversion of heat to electricity, this is not a big enough effect to outweigh other factors that decrease efficiency of fuel use.
