Philippine seaweed farming flourishes after Typhoon Haiyan
When Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Yolanda) struck in November 2013, it severely damaged or destroyed many seaweed facilities, crippling the income of Filipino coastal farmers who relied on this as their main source of livelihood. The Philippines is one of the world’s largest producers of seaweed and initial assessments after the typhoon showed that US$12.2 million was lost in aquaculture and seaweed production alone.
