I would be cautious for a few things: Salt content, that it’s not ever been something they would eat in the wild, and environmental contaminants.

Certainly seaweed is the new wonder food…for people…until they decide it’s not (if they do, but these things tend to be roller coaster rides of ‘omg it’s awesome and so tasty and cures everything’ to ‘too much causes …etc’ ). Additionally you are harvesting it but not planting it or keeping it-so you can’t control any contaminants/pollutants etc that could be in the water, and perhaps couldn’t identify if there were other strains of non edible seaweed that look similar *shrugs* just musing here.

So I’m not saying ‘no’ or ‘don’t’ -maybe discuss with your vet? Maybe this is a question that Binkybunny can take to her vet, who is a renowned specialist. For me-I wouldn’t-just in case.
