项目摘要

The seaweed cultivation industry is the fastest-growing of all aquaculture sectors, with an annual growth rate of 10% and a value in excess of $5bn. 95% of this cultivation is undertaken by developing countries. Worldwide, seaweed farming provides income to 'millions of families' in rural coastal communities and has enabled women to become economically active for the first time, in areas where few opportunities exist. Yet outbreaks of seaweed disease and pests are threatening this industry, leading to dramatic (>15%) declines in yield, notably in three major seaweed-producing developing countries - the Philippines, Tanzania and Indonesia and is having catastrophic socio-economic impacts on the communities reliant on seaweed production. In the Philippines alone, losses over US$ 100 million a year were attributed to disease, representing 15% of their farmed seaweed production and similar reductions have been seen in Tanzania and Indonesia. OUR VISION for the Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF) GlobalSeaweed* programme, therefore, is to grow the research and innovation capability of developing countries engaged in seaweed farming. The GCRF GlobalSeaweed* team will consist of international experts in algal biology, aquatic pathology, disease and pest identification, biosecurity and policy development. It will be a 4-year programme, primarily collaborating with senior seaweed specialists in the Philippines, Indonesia and Tanzania, but we envisage working with many other seaweed producing developing countries through the establishment of a GCRF GlobalSeaweed* Fund, enabling rapid action to emerging crises in the seaweed industry & fostering further international cooperation. GCRF GlobalSeaweed* aims to address three key 'Development Challenges' directly linked to the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and these include: Challenge #1: Secure and resilient food systems supported by sustainable aquaculture - develop innovative new detection methods for key yield-limiting seaweed diseases and pests on cultivation sites and in the wider environment and legislation/ biosecurity measures to prevent their introduction and spread: We will focus on identification of emergent diseases and pests and the development of early warning, risk-based detection protocols and robust national and international policies to ensure the security and resilience of this industry in developing countries.Challenge #2: Resilience and action on short term environmental shock and long term environmental change - mitigate the sensitivity of seaweeds to fluctuating environmental conditions and climate change: We will empower our overseas partners to develop and test new commercial strains for increased resistance to the key yield-limiting diseases and pests under conditions of environmental change and embed the knowledge gained into practical farm management protocols to ensure maximum yield at the farm sites.Challenge #3: Sustainable livelihoods supported by strong foundations, infrastructure and gender equality for sustainable economic growth and innovation - understand the socio-, political and institutional landscapes in our overseas partners regarding biosecurity, gender equality and risk management: We will work closely with local communities and national governments to develop a robust approach to policy development to promote sustainable economic growth of the seaweed industry in these countries. Through addressing these challenges, GCRF GlobalSeaweed* will not only produce excellent scientific research, but train 24+ early career researchers, develop open access training materials and an unprecedented digital Atlas of Seaweed Disease and Pests, protocols, international technical and policy papers in collaboration with the FAO and United Nations University and organise special sessions at international conferences and sharing best practice events in collaboration with our overseas partners.

海藻养殖业是所有水产养殖部门中增长最快的，年增长率为10%，产值超过50亿美元。95%的种植是由发展中国家进行的。在世界范围内，海藻种植为沿海农村社区的“数以百万计的家庭”提供了收入，并使妇女第一次能够在机会不多的地区从事经济活动。然而，海藻病虫害的暴发正在威胁着这一行业，导致产量大幅下降(15%)，特别是在三个主要的海藻生产发展中国家--菲律宾、坦桑尼亚和印度尼西亚，并正在对依赖海藻生产的社区产生灾难性的社会经济影响。仅在菲律宾，每年因疾病造成的损失就超过1亿美元，占其养殖海藻产量的15%，坦桑尼亚和印度尼西亚也出现了类似的减少。因此，我们对全球挑战研究基金(GCRF)全球海藻*方案的愿景是提高从事海藻种植的发展中国家的研究和创新能力。GCRF全球海草*团队将由藻类生物学、水生病理学、病虫害识别、生物安全和政策制定方面的国际专家组成。这将是一个为期4年的方案，主要与菲律宾、印度尼西亚和坦桑尼亚的高级海藻专家合作，但我们设想通过设立全球海藻基金全球海藻*基金，与许多其他海藻生产发展中国家合作，以便能够对海藻行业新出现的危机迅速采取行动，促进进一步的国际合作。GCRF全球海藻*旨在应对与联合国可持续发展目标直接相关的三个关键“发展挑战”，这些挑战包括：挑战#1：由可持续水产养殖支持的安全和有弹性的粮食系统--为种植地和更广泛环境中限制产量的关键海藻病虫害开发创新的新检测方法以及防止其引入和传播的立法/生物安全措施：我们将重点识别紧急病虫害并开发早期预警；基于风险的检测协议和强有力的国家和国际政策，以确保这一行业在发展中国家的安全和弹性。挑战#2：对短期环境冲击和长期环境变化的韧性和行动--减轻海藻对波动的环境条件和气候变化的敏感性：我们将授权我们的海外合作伙伴开发和测试新的商业菌株，以提高对环境变化条件下关键限产疾病和害虫的抵抗力，并将所获得的知识嵌入到实际的农场管理协议中，以确保农场现场的最大产量。挑战#3：由坚实的基础、基础设施和性别平等支持的可持续生计，以实现可持续经济增长和创新-了解社会--我们海外合作伙伴在生物安全、性别平等和风险管理方面的政治和体制前景：我们将与当地社区和各国政府密切合作，制定强有力的政策制定方法，以促进这些国家海藻产业的可持续经济增长。通过应对这些挑战，GCRF全球海藻*不仅将产生优秀的科学研究成果，还将培训24+名职业早期研究人员，与粮农组织和联合国大学合作开发开放获取培训材料和史无前例的海藻病虫害数字地图集、协议、国际技术和政策文件，并在国际会议上组织特别会议，并与海外合作伙伴共同分享最佳实践活动。
