The ocean occupies a huge portion of the planet for a reason; much of its resources remain untapped and unexplored, mainly due to the lack of suitable technology. The use of aquatic plant seaweed macro algae for various biotech products including preventive medicine, pharmaceuticals, neutraceutical, food, marine energy, seaweed biofuel is becoming popular. A nature-based complex approach will make sea farming profitable. Our project involves: development of integrated technology for the water resources exploration (Inland, coastal, sea and ocean), co-utilization for marine renewable energy, food (seaweed, mussel, and fish), and incorporation of feed ecological requirements at downstream and their application at upstream, need for various marine biotech products (textile, seaweed bioplastic, seaweed solar etc.). Seaweed farming will bring multiple nature- based solutions to problems being faced by fish farmers or hydro energy technology professionals. We have collected a wide of range of data that provide confident nature-based solution ready for implementation. We have done the first principle work, risk analysis, lab trial, biochemical, and material and prototype sea trial. We have also tried an integrated farming (fish, seaweed and wave energy) to collect relevant data useful for scale up. We have conducted research with industry and international universities under the frontier of knowledge in this area.

In the future, with increasing demand, macroalgae will be required to be harvested less from natural populations in favour of farming of particular high value species and the use of high technology farming system. The end user are those who are interested in farming in water ( sea, ocean, inland), marine biotech raw materials industries (plastic, pulp, garment, animal feed and fertilizer, battery, solar, gelatin, dye, ) cosmetic, marine biofuel feedstock, nutrition and Food security (marine food and nutraceutical), health (marine medicine and pharmaceutical), marine bioremediation, GHG capture for climate change mitigation and adaptation etc.
b. Please explain how the initiative has impacted positively a group or groups of the population within the context of your country or region (200 words maximum)
Macro-algae farming has become one of the natural resources, which is economically important. The Malaysian Government introduced macro-algae production in the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) in September 2010, with the mission to produce macro-algae up to 1 million metric tons per year. Since 1978, Sabah is the main macro-algae producer in Malaysia and most of the total production is farmed off the coast of Semporna, which is located in the east coast of Sabah using traditional means. Macro-algae can go very well offshore, but there is no offshore platform that can deliver the target demand. The existing cultivation systems are less sustainable environmentally and economically. The significant of macro-algae apart from their vital role in providing high value of food, include their use for resources for gels and chemicals used in everyday commodities. Their use will also extend in near future for production of biomass algae for energy production in order to maintain the competitiveness of Malaysia macro-algae production in global market, certain strategic action in ensuring production needs to be implemented. The design of the offshore floating structures scientifically based on improvement of the Long Line System for commercializing small-scale macro-algae farming hopes to deliver this call.

No
The next stage after the prototype is to secure innovation fund to implement a pilot project in different water, region and city of the world. https://oceanconference.un.org/commitments/?id=14807 My work concentrates on the development of technology platform for large scale offshore aquaculture plantation and exploration of ocean resources. My work shares the view of the FAO (2005) that our green biomass production has to grow with 70% in order to give the 10 billion inhabitants of our planet at the midst of the 21st century their primary needs. The UN Atlas of the Oceans shows that over 40% of the worlds, population lives within 150 km of a coastline, and population growth and tourism are accelerating in coastal regions. Likewise, the Ocean is now declared by UN as one of key area of SDG, there will be more focus in integrated system for blue economy development. The pilot will be tried in different sea.The coastal region face the challenge of under-utilised and efficient use of water resources, due to lack of technology know how. It obvious that many coastal inhabitant are very poor because of this , and it is also clear that many sustainable biotech product can be produced from farmed water and sea resources.Beside the use of the sea for transportation and exploration for gas, farming the sea and the ocean is very importance for humanity and sustainable development

Under environmental pollution control and prevention, cultivation areas will benefit from Green House Gas carbon capture and water pollution filters. The nearby industry inshore and off coast shall also benefit from pollution mitigation options of cleaner sea and cleaner air those marine algae offers. Under social and community responsibility, local inshore fishermen will be engaged to cultivate the macro-algae in allocated plots on a contractual basis. Farmers would be provided with all the necessary equipment, tools and seedlings to make it easy for the contract farmers. In addition, the participants will be given the necessary training in macro-algae cultivation and subsistence allowance before the first crop is harvested. This will be recovered in stages from the macro-algae purchased from these contract farmers. All farmers will be given a buy-back guarantee. There is a ready-made market for the produce. The project also uses integrated system for co-utilisation of water resources for food energy and transportation. For example, farming of aquaculture life (seaweed, fish and mussel), ocean energy and logistic to the farm. The project is expected to help meet several sustainable development goals. Seaweed farming has become one of the natural resources, which are economically important for many marine biotech products, including medicine, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and neutracetical, hydrocolloids and other high-value chemicals, fertilisers, and as biomass for energy generation. There will be continuous growth in this field. Bulk of engineering works are done, commercial work will attract investment and add value that will enable the technology to reach end user.
