The overall risk management framework is generally used for
decision-making process and provides more clear idea to make
decision about any technological term; it includes and comprises
the defining of the challenge or problem, stakeholders involved,
consideration of almost possible concerns, identification of actual
risk, review, and judgment, and finally the decision. The proposed
framework of risk management for offshore macroalgae cultivation
is shown in Fig. 5. The framework is divided into three sections as
follows. Section 1 shows the possible risks, which can be prevented
before the cultivation or during the cultivation and are related with
the requirement of macroalgae cultivation. Section 2 shows the
risks that might be controlled in the process production of biomass
and harvesting. Section 3 shows the risks that will need to be
mitigated, as these are the potential impacts of cultivation of macroalgae on the marine environment.
