It means there are still opportunities to develop seaweed cultivation, he said. According to Hartanto, the technology utilised for seaweed cultivation was quite simple, adding that seaweed can be harvested in just about 35-40 days. Seaweed cultivation is able to create jobs and is deemed strategic, as it can improve the welfare of coastal communities./.
