Abstract
    The feasibility, benefits, risks, and consequences of using sporeless sporophytes to aid the upscaling of kelp cultivation in Europe and North America, as well as the barriers that currently exist and how these may be overcome, are reviewed here. Taking environmental, industrial, and regulatory factors into account, we will discuss the use of domesticated sporeless sporophytes as an asset to facilitate upscaling kelp cultivation without potentially impacting wild genetic diversity.
