Pak Golaf conduct the seaweed farming activities
The charm of marine tourism in Southeast Asia lies not only in its natural beauty but also in its unique cultural richness. Tourists can explore traditional fishing villages, learn about the coastal communities' way of life, and enjoy fresh seafood from marine commodities. However, this marine biodiversity is slowly facing significant threats.
While some countries have tried to introduce regulations on sustainable fisheries to address overfishing, climate change poses another significant challenge to coastal communities. One commodity affected by climate change is seaweed cultivation. In seaweed farming, the impact of climate change is felt in growth rates, which are highly dependent on water temperature. Temperature changes can also make seaweed more vulnerable to diseases, ultimately leading to a decrease in production.
