Zanzibar's Greatest Seaweed Farmer 🇹🇿

■ TANZANIA, ZANZIBAR: My first day on the beach in Pongwe I learnt two things. First, seaweed has value. Two, you can also farm it! The previous day I'd observed the local villagers not only sit out in the water when the tide was low planting seaweed, but also bringing back baskets of fully grown seaweed to the shore on their heads.
Naturally I wanted in on this unique feature of the local economy. This is the story of how I became Zanzibar's greatest seaweed farmer 😎

Here in Cebu Philippines we call that seaweed "GUSO" and many people are growing it here too for food and it can be made as seaweed salad you just have to boil it a little and then drain,then put vinegar and spices. It can also be used to produce strong products as well like basins,pails,and pitchers. And also it's the main ingredient to make Gelatins too. :)
