I am interested to know if any toxic substances have been found in any of the seaweed in Cork Harbour. Thanks Hi

The issue of pollution is one that is not given wide enough consideration as brown seaweeds are particularly susceptible. They are used for measuring radiation doses in the sea and because of the gulf stream things like technetium 99 can travel long distances. Seaweed can be very nutritious and will be a very useful food in the future but only if people become more aware and active on marine pollution.
