Its culture has been proposed to address poverty alleviation and as an income generating especially as an alternative to mangrove destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The culture of seaweed is mainly practiced by extensive method whereas a yield of about 100-200 kg\/ha-yr of dried seaweed is produced. This is compared to about 2-4 tons\/ha-yr of dry seaweed in semi-intensive ponds. In some polyculture systems, seaweeds may be cultured with shrimps and crabs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0We decided not to watermark the photos in order not to upset its clarity.
