Steven M. ClarkeSteve Clarke undertook Honours and PhD projects on seaweeds during the late 1970s to mid 1980s at the University of Adelaide, before being employed by the then SA Department of Fisheries to manage a large multi-disciplinary seagrass project. For abou 25 years thereafter he led the Aquaculture Program at the Department of Fisheries and then SARDI Aquatic Sciences, and was involved at various times in projects that included seaweeds (as abalone feed, for the production of select chemicals, and for bioremediation, including as a component of Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture). He has also provided advice to entrepreneurs interested in the collection of wild drift seaweeds and the harvesting of naturally growing seaweeds. His ambition over the last 30 years has been to develop and grow South Australia’s aquaculture industry, which has and continues to occur; seeing the development of a substantive seaweed industry in South Australia would be an exciting milestone.
