Synopsis (short abstract) Preliminary site evaluation assessment for seaweed farming was carried out at project area Sorsogon. Site evaluation were conducted at sites of four municipalities, namely Prieto-Diaz, Gubat, Matnog and Barcelona. These sites represent three different seaweed habitats such as: sandy reef flats, rocky reef with sandy patches and sandy-muddy flats within bays with freshwater influence. On preliminary taxonomic examination, seven species of Gracilaria were recognised. These are: G. changii (=G. cyl indrica). G. fastigiata, G. firma, G. salicornia, G. tenuistipitata, G. eucheumoides and G. coronopifolia.

    The paper describes the general physical and demographic features of eastern Sorsogon where Gracilaria farming is being developed. Gracilaria, like the Eucheuma seaweeds prior to farming, are presently gathered from the wild stocks. Unless some form of management is introduced, the natural seaweed beds will be depleted due to intensive collection for cash income by the fishing community. Initial development activities carried out by the Project, PHI/89/004, is presented with recommendations for immediate future action to ensure sustainability of development efforts being provided by the project.

    This Business Plan is developed as a practical reference for cooperative leaders of the PHI/89/004 project beneficiaries in the implementation and management of a 1 hectare Seaweed Cooperative Farm for Sorsogon, Philippines. This Business Plan can also be used as a management tool for decision making for the cooperative and as an investor's guide or basis for a loan proposal for banks and other financial institutions. The development of this Business Plan is based on the technical reports of D r. Nyan Taw, Chief Technical Adviser, Mr. Luis V. Guanio, Marketing Consultant and project documents prepared by Mr. Faustino Taclan, Project Leader and the Project Staff. The use of this Business Plan is only to the extent of defined scope and purposes. Hence, it is not a substitute for good management of a project or a substitute for entrepreneurial ability of investors. This document contains the background, rationale of Seaweed Production Project and the technical, market, financial and organizational specifications for the implementation of a 1 hectare Cooperative Seaweed Farm Project.
