REPORT OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON SEAWEED FARMING IN INDONESIA1

by

G.C. Trono, Jr.2, H.R. Rabanal3 and I. Santika4

Abstract

Upon the request of the Government of Indonesia, a short-term technical assistance on seaweed farming was rendered. The authors gathered available background information and field work led by the senior author was conducted in four selected provinces in the country in April 1980. Nine sites were surveyed, three of which were identified as suitable sites for pilot demonstration of seaweed farming. A programme of development of these farms and the facilities and training needs required are described. A draft proposal for technical assistance project in this type of seafarming is appended.

1 This consultancy was made possible from funds made available from project INS/72/003.
