'The first commercial harvest of the methane-busting seaweed asparagopsis has
occurred at the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Geraldton in Western
Australia.

Australian researchers have found, when added to the feed of cattle and other
ruminant stock, the native seaweed can virtually eliminate methane emissions.

Three hundred kilograms of naturally occurring seaweed has been harvested from
an Abrolhos aquaculture farm for Seastock, which is currently the only West
Australian company with a licence to do so.

Managing director Tom Puddy said demand for the seaweed had been strong.

"We have got a lot of hungry customers within Australia and globally that are
really keen to implement their methane-reduction strategies," Mr Puddy said.'
