Day 5: Marine Biology

Vivian Tien
We visited a seaweed farm today and learned how to tie the seaweed to ropes to cultivate the plants, which is one of the three most popular methods of seaweed farming. It takes 2-3 months for the seaweed to be ready to harvest. We also learned about the three types of seaweed that grow at Little Water Caye and their various uses, which include being used as a biodegradable exfoliant and an ingredient for agar.
