Handbook on Social License to Operate for Seaweed Cultivation, GENIALG Project

This is the fourth version of a handbook describing theory and practice for 'Social License to Operate' (SLO) for seaweed cultivation operations. It provides details on the factors involved in SLO in general and specifically for seaweed cultivation as found in studies undertaken as part of the EU H2020 GENIALG project. It aims to be a guide for seaweed farmers, communities, and policy-makers, to avoid unnecessary community-industry conflicts and promote socially sustainable and acceptable approaches to seaweed cultivation.
