Seaweed farming in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of corpus Christi, Texas..
Looking for advice on the feasibility, the best location and the type of kelp that would work the best for Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas near corpus Christi, Texas
@syed_ali2538 The waters in the Gulf of Mexico are too warm for kelp cultivation, but you could try cultivating other seaweeds. I'm attaching this recently published guide about warm water seaweed cultivation. It discusses Caribbean waters but you may find some of the information applicable to your location.

@syed_ali2538 FYI - I moved your post to site evaluation and permitting to give you better visibility on your question.
