SEAWEED RESOURCES AND THEIR CULTURE IN THE
SOUTH CHINA SEA REGION

Consultant
A general background on economic seaweeds with particular reference to the species found in the countries bordering the South China Sea is given. Supported by data from surveys initiated by this Programme, previous studies by the consultant and available published material, an appraisal of the resources and possibilities for their culture is reported for the different countries in the region. Sufficient information has been accumulated to formulate a project proposal for seaweed culture at a selected site in the Region. This proposal is appended to this paper and means for its implementation are recommended.
