Seaweed farmer Marian Maadil Ahajan, a beneficiary of Phase 1 of the PRDP supported seaweed project, said that the seedlings from MSU were very good because they could grow fast even without the use of fertilizers. “The seaweed given to us by MSU was really different from what we used before,” said Ahajan. “It grew faster compared to the seaweed we were before which needed fertilizer to grow. In terms of seedlings, we could make seven to 10 lines from the seed stocks from MSU, while the seedlings we used before could only reach up to three lines.”
