Precautionary approach is a good idea but as far as risk across the range of proposed ocean industries, this one is kinda meh. the extent of most tail risk in the realm of possibility has already happened and we've learned from the cautionary tales. e.g. invasive algae species have already been spread around the world, many of which for attempts at cultivation. farm planning/ disease propagules we've learned quite a bit about because of salmon farming. Etc. What is fucked regarding seaweed massive dieoffs due to climate change and tropicalisation of temperate ecosystems, disappearance of kelp forests, for example along thousands of km of southeastern Australian coastline.
