CS2 - Offshore macroalgae cultivation socio-economic assessment in the Faroe Islands 2022

The dataset contains a socio-economic analysis based on the operation of a macroalgae farm in the Faroe Islands. The production system used in the Faroe Islands has the potential to operate offshore, increased production volumes of biomass and allow for the growth of the macroalgae industry in the Atlantic. The socio-economic calculations include employment generation, gross value added and ripple effects of macroalgae production, at two scenarios of scaled up production, first the sustainable farm size and to the maximum exploitation capacity in the Faroes coastline.
