 This chapter covers the EU environmental law applicable to algae cultivation, with a focus on the specific regulation governing the use of alien and locally absent species in aquaculture, the Invasive Alien Species Regulation, and the Habitats and Birds Directives as they apply to sites near protected areas. It also addresses the Nagoya Protocol on access and benefit-sharing, which is relevant to the development and use of non-native algal strains. This chapter covers the EU environmental law applicable to algae cultivation, with a focus on the specific regulation governing the use of alien and locally absent species in aquaculture, the Invasive Alien Species Regulation, and the Habitats and Birds Directives as they apply to sites near protected areas.

 __Relevance to algae:__ Regulation (EC) No 708/2007 is the most directly algae-specific piece of EU environmental law relating to aquaculture. It applies to the deliberate introduction of alien species (species not naturally present in a given area) and locally absent species (species previously present but no longer occurring) into EU aquaculture environments. Its scope covers seaweed cultivation and land-based algae production in open systems. __Relevance to algae:__ Regulation (EC) No 708/2007 is the most directly algae-specific piece of EU environmental law relating to aquaculture.

 __Relevance to algae:__ This recently adopted Regulation establishes binding targets for the restoration of degraded ecosystems, including marine and coastal habitats. While primarily a conservation instrument rather than a production regulatory instrument, it has implications for algae producers: __Relevance to algae:__ This recently adopted Regulation establishes binding targets for the restoration of degraded ecosystems, including marine and coastal habitats.
