Or, to coin a phrase, "Let them eat nori."

Interesting! I had rad about cattle emissions but the percentage is startling.  I think seaweed (not just nori) is the next hot trend for humans as well..  Aquaculture implemented with knowledgable scientists is the way to go.  California bull kelp forests are a mess   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191021082738.htm

According to The Economist ancient Greeks recorded sheep eating seaweed.

 

 

Yup - sheep on the seashore. My shepherd fiend who tended in north Engand where the plains would flood - it was the available fodder.
