First of all, I appreciate the thought of you giving those people living along the coastline idea(s) to earn something from. Kudos to people who are concern to fellow citizens. Secondly, I'd like you to take a look on these first. I did a little research and these are Strategies one must do before engaging in seaweed farming:1. Conduct research on diseases pestering seaweed farms. 2. Monitor, evaluate and asses effect of manufacturing operations, if industries are located near seaweed farming areas especially on toxic waste discharges. 3. Aggressive information/education on effective seaweed farming is a need. 4. Aggressive information drive on good seaweed farming and drying practice is a lot necessary. 5. Upgrading farm implements and post harvest facilities like driers. 6. Conduct forum on shipping and freight costs. 7. Access to market trendsNow, if you want to pursue, there is also a need to have several measures to combat diseases pestering the seaweeds, measures to prevent toxic wastes affecting the seaweeds, and improved farming techniques to realize high volume of production. Good luck then! Hi Constantino. First of all, I appreciate the thought of you giving those people living along the coastline idea(s) to earn something from.

Good luck then!

The bottom is sandy. From May to October, the sea is generally calm and smooth. From November to April the waves (breakers) are big. Sometimes there are red seaweeds washed away along the shores which indicate that there are growth of red seaweeds further from the shore. I've been thinking of taking advantage of the calm from May to October to farm red seaweeds along the shoreline. Is this possible? If it is, I will introduce farming of red seaweeds in the place and this will be a big boon to the people living along the coast.Your reply would be very much appreciated. Thank you.Constantino Sir/Madam,
