  • Seaweed farmers tying the seaweed seedlings to the lines to put into the sea, Tamiao, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. The polystyrene floaters are important to keep the seaweed lines at water level to deter fish from eating the seaweed. Seaweed is fast growing and can be harvested in 1-2 months. The seaweed is then dried and sold to local buyers and a commercial processing plant in Cebu, where it is turned into powder; a high value product used by many industries including cosmetics and food. Before Typhoon Haiyan, Bantayan Island was the largest seaweed producer in Cebu province. The typhoon destroyed seaweed farms leaving over 2000 farmers without essential equipment and seedlings. Oxfam awarded cash grants to around 700 families to finance the purchase of seaweed seedlings and farming equipment including ropes, poles and floaters.
