"This brief review of rockweed's role in the sea supports the contention of Bob Rangeley. from the Huntsman Marine Laboratory in St. Andrews. New Brunswick, that "the extant biomass of rockweed is an essential component of the ecosystem". He also points out, that in collecting rockweed we are in fact harvesting a valuable coastal habitat, making the concept of "sustainable harvest level" somewhat questionable. Any level of harvesting will inevitably diminish this habitat and have an impact on the animals that live there. The difficulty lies in deciding what level of environmental impact we are willing to accept in return for the many useful products that come from rockweed."--p. 4. gccst Aquatic ecosystems gccst Aquatic plants Canada.
