A Technical Report on a Survey of Potential Sites for Eucheuma and Kappaphycus Farming in Kenya.
Upon the interest of Kenya and Copenhagen Pectin A/S of Denmark to introduce and develop Eucheumatoids farming along the Kenya coastline, a field survey of potential sites for seaweed [arming was conducted. A survey was carried out during the South-East Monsoon rainy season, from 14th April to 19th May, 1995, and covered the entire coast. Fourteen (14) sites were surveyed and six (6) were identified as suitable for Eucheuma test plant. The Survey resulted in sufficient information which was used in the formulation of a project proposal for test planting at selected sites. This proposal is appended to this paper and means for its implementation are recommended.
