Implemented

The project will work at the global, regional, and national levels to strengthen and develop seaweed value chains. The project will work in the South China Sea and will be aligned with the Strategic Action Plan. More specifically, the project will work in the coastal and marine ecosystems of Viet Nam and the Philippines, where the potential for the expansion of seaweed aquaculture and seaweed aquaculture value chains exists. Seaweed farming is growing as a lucrative business in coastal provinces – farmed as a foodstuff, used in food processing, as well as cosmetics and medical industries. The livelihoods of the people who live in these coastal areas depend on the quality of water and habitat in these rich marine ecosystems.
