Seaweed Farming -Alternative to Beche-de-mer?

Sea weed farming has been trialed in Milne Bay province and just recently, the people of Kataret Island in the Autonomous region of Bougainville stated farming. Unfortunately, it is new in Papua New Guinea therefore, the price and facilities had not been set has yet. The islanders of Kataret had been farming, harvesting and processed dry to sell it the Solomon Island's buyers. They were selling a kilo for only one PNG kina. Below is the photograph of
 the under water farm.
